Second phase of major Workington housing development set for go-ahead The second stage of a major housing development in Workington could be on the horizon. Housing developer Gleeson Homes is seeking the go-ahead for reserved matters relating to phase two of a major housing development on land at Ashfield Road South in Workington. The developer, which specialises in building low-cost homes, intends to build more than 200 new homes in addition to the 35 already built on the site by developer Mandale Homes. A section 106 legal agreement had been put in place for the site in 2017, requiring that the development of the site be approached in a phased manner.
