Key town figures have backed Jomast Developments’ plans for 385 new homes as part of a larger £120 million development.
It comes after the developer submitted a planning application for Hartlepool Marina to Hartlepool Development Corporation (HDC) last year.
The proposals sought to vary or remove a number of conditions attached to existing planning permission on four sites near Maritime Avenue, Fleet Avenue and Mainsforth Terrace.
That approval, granted in 2003 and which remains valid, gave consent for approximately 900 dwellings, four office blocks and a range of retail, education and care facilities.
The new proposals provide design alterations to reflect market changes, reducing the number of properties to be delivered to 385 "high-quality homes", including 155 houses and 230 apartments.
The application, which went before the HDC's planning board, was approved subject to conditions that were in line with HDC planners’ recommendations. It is linked to £120 million plans for a mixed 650-home scheme at seven marina locations, alongside retail, leisure, and medical facilities.
