Building work is well underway at a new housing development in Bidwell, Thorn, which will bring almost £5.4m worth of investment to the community.
Ashberry Homes Eastern Counties and Bellway Northern Home Counties will be delivering a mix of 253 two, three and four-bedroom homes in a joint scheme, off Thorn Road in Bidwell. The two developments will form part of a new neighbourhood of up to 1,850 new homes.
As part of the planning agreement, both housebuilders will be making significant contributions to the local area. Almost £5.4m will be put towards early years, primary and secondary education, highway contributions, public transport and bus stop maintenance, off-site indoor and outdoor sports facilities and more.
Alongside the new homes, the developers will also be providing new public open space, including footpaths and cycleways, orchards and a children’s play area.
The first homes have now been released for sale at the Bellway’s Brambleside and Ashberry’s Chalk Fields developments.
Jane Yolland, Sales Director for Ashberry Homes Eastern Counties, said: “We are really pleased that work is well underway on the new homes at Chalk Fields, and we are proud to be able to help meet the demand for new homes in Bedfordshire.
“Through this scheme, we will be making significant contributions to the local community, which we believe will help to create a thriving new neighbourhood for many years to come.”
Shirley Macleod, Sales Manager for Bellway Northern Home Counties, said: “We have received a great deal of interest in the new homes on offer at Brambleside, and it has been fantastic to welcome visitors to this landmark development.
“I would encourage anyone keen to secure one of the homes here to visit the development to avoid missing out.”
There’s a choice of two, three and four-bedroom houses currently available to reserve at both housing developments.
