Construction work is set to start on a new neighbourhood in Warwickshire, Kings Grove, following approval for the first phase of development.
Bellway’s development, which will be known as Kings Grove, will comprise 140 homes on land to the west of Banbury Road, immediately north of Lighthorne Heath. The housebuilder’s reserved matters planning application – which includes plans for two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom homes – was approved by Stratford-on-Avon District Council in March.
Kings Grove is the first phase of a proposed wider settlement of up to 2,000 new homes which has outline planning permission. The new community is planned to include a village centre with a community hub, health centre, primary school and shops, an ecological reserve, public open space and a sports pavilion.
Jane Yolland, Sales Director for Bellway’s South Midlands division, said: “Kings Grove is set to bring much-needed new homes to the area, and we’re delighted our detailed plans have been approved, paving the way for construction to start on site.
“The development will provide a range of properties to meet the needs of local people and we’re already experiencing interest from buyers in the area who are looking for a peaceful yet well-connected location for their home.”
Bellway hopes to release the first plots for sale in July.
