The place
Redcar and Cleveland's regeneration spans the borough's towns and the South Tees Development Corporation's Teesworks site. Current housing delivery includes Kirkleatham Lane in Redcar and a retrofit programme across the Lakes and Langley House estates, alongside the TS6, or Eston, neighbourhood's Pride in Place programme.
Who decides and delivers
The South Tees Development Corporation, chaired through the Mayor, holds planning powers across Teesworks; Redcar and Cleveland Council is the planning authority for the rest of the borough and the accountable body for TS6's Pride in Place funding, governed by the TS6 Neighbourhood Together Board. Registered providers Beyond Housing, Thirteen Housing Group and Karbon Homes, alongside developer Vistry Partnerships North East and contractor Esh Group, are active in the borough.
What each edition tracks
Each quarterly briefing tracks these schemes, TS6's neighbourhood board and the routes into grant funding, distinguishing Teesworks decisions from the council's own planning authority. This edition's research was checked on 19 September 2026.

Regeneration projects in Redcar and Cleveland
Redcar and Cleveland's regeneration spans the South Tees Development Corporation's Teesworks site and the borough's residential neighbourhoods. Kirkleatham Lane in Redcar is delivering new affordable and open-market homes, while a retrofit programme is upgrading existing stock across the Lakes and Langley House estates. In the TS6 postcode, covering Eston and South Bank, the borough's single Pride in Place neighbourhood is working through a ten-year renewal plan governed by its own neighbourhood board.
Construction and housing funding in Redcar and Cleveland
Teesworks land sits under the South Tees Development Corporation, so funding and planning decisions there run separately from the rest of the borough, where Redcar and Cleveland Council is the planning authority. Affordable housing grant reaches local schemes through Homes England's national programme and its first-wave strategic partners, while land and infrastructure costs can draw on the Tees Valley Combined Authority's Brownfield Housing Fund. TS6's Pride in Place funding, for the Eston and South Bank area, is decided nationally and delivered through the TS6 Neighbourhood Together Board.
