The Yorkshire-based property developer Wharfedale Homes has secured a £6.15m funding package from Paragon Bank’s development finance division to support its latest development.

Eskdale View is a development of 62 new build homes, 19 of which are classified as affordable, in Whitby. The development of one, two, three and four-bedroom properties is located at a site off Green Lane, close to Whitby Abbey.

Work on the site has started and the first properties are expected to be completed by the summer of 2023. Landscaped open space will also be created, along with contributions to children's play areas, parks and gardens, public rights of way and health provision.
