Gloucester-based Newland Homes has secured a new development opportunity between Gloucester and Cheltenham, close to its head office in Barnwood.
The circa 20-acre development parcel is located to the Southwest of the Churchdown. The land was earmarked for development within the Joint Core Strategy in 2017 and it now forms part of the South Churchdown Strategic Allocation.
Over the coming months, Newland Homes plans to prepare a scheme of low and zero carbon housing to sustainably develop the site. There will be a period of public consultation before a planning application is submitted, which is likely to be this Summer. It is anticipated that this will provide up to 145 new homes, including affordable housing and community green open space.
It is intended that the new homes close to Churchdown will utilise sustainably sourced materials and renewable energy technologies, along with increased levels of insulation.
Andrew Billings, Land Director at Newland Homes, commented: “As a company we are increasingly being singled out by landowners and agents as a housebuilder that deliver schemes which are stylish, highly sustainable and will stand the test of time.”
Andrew continued: “I am delighted that we have secured this prime development opportunity in Churchdown and it was a pleasure dealing with Philip Pratt at Alder King Property Consultants in Gloucester who acted on behalf of the landowner. The Newland team was ably supported by Colin Stratton of Osborne Clarke Solicitors in Bristol.”
The site is located adjacent to the emerging Bellway Homes and Ashberry Homes development, where 465 new homes are under construction.
