The 12‑acre site is planned for 126 homes: 74 for affordable rent and 52 for shared ownership. Homes England grant funding will support delivery, with construction due to begin in the coming weeks and the first homes expected in 2027.
Strategic context
Places for People recently delivered 80 affordable homes at nearby Thistleton Park, so the acquisition builds on an existing local development presence. The sellers’ disposal had been conditional on reserved‑matters approval; completion now moves the site from planning into delivery.
Grant support and the combination of rental and shared‑ownership homes are central to the funding and tenure mix.
