ELAN Homes is working up detailed plans to provide new homes in Bewdley, Worcestershire, after securing an 8.25 acre site.

The land on Stourport Road holds an outline planning consent for up to 100 dwellings.

Ben Jowett, head of land at Elan Homes Midlands, said: “We won the site in Bewdley in a competitive bidding process. The site purchase was achieved in a very quick timescale and we ultimately exchanged and completed on the same day. This required a lot of input from various members of the Elan team and I’m grateful to everyone involved in enabling the acquisition.”

Last summer Wyre Forest District Council approved outline plans for 100 homes on the site. Elan is now working on a reserved matters application, which it anticipates will be submitted in the summer.

“Bewdley is a desirable and sought-after town, but there’s a gap in the housing market locally as there’s been a lack of new homes built in the area in recent years,” Ben added.

“Subject to planning, we anticipate work starting on site in early 2024, with the first homes due to be released for sale in summer 2024. Our proposed development will provide a flagship site for the region.”

Elan’s proposed scheme would provide a good mix of properties, ranging in size from one  to five-bedrooms, including private sale homes and affordable housing.

Under the approved outline consent, the site will provide designated public open space including a play area as well as a series of financial investments in the local community worth more than £340,000, which Elan will make once development commences. These include almost £220,000 for education; a health contribution of almost £40,000; funding of almost £55,000 towards highways and traffic measures; plus more than £30,000 in sports facilities contributions.

Elan is currently building and selling homes in the Worcestershire town of Abberley.

The company’s previous developments across the county include Merrybrook Grange in Evesham, Derrington Mews in Kempsey, Walcot Meadow in Drakes Broughton and Stableford, just two miles from Worcester city centre.

Hayfield has opened a show home for its first EPC A-rated development in the Worcestershire village of Hallow.

The five-bedroom, three-bathroom detached show home is intended to demonstrate how sustainable living need not compromise on luxury and is fitted out accordingly.

Homes at the development, Hayfield Grove, are built to a zero-carbon ready specification that includes solar PV panels, energy efficient underfloor heating, air source heat pump, electric vehicle fast charging points and substantial insulation.

The development includes the creation of 2.5 acres of outstanding new Public Open Space that joins up with the extensive landscaped open space and fully equipped playground that was created as part of the original Hayfield Meadow scheme, which was completed in 2019.

Hayfield is also creating new landscaped walking and cycling routes to connect the scheme into the neighbourhood. New wildflower planting and a biodiverse pond will create significant ecological benefits. The density of the development is much lower than typical new build schemes, with extensive planting incorporated into the masterplan, including orchard tree planting.

Award-winning housebuilder Hayfield has unveiled a stunning new show home at its first EPC A-rated development in the Worcestershire village of Hallow.

The five-bedroom, three-bathroom detached show home has been styled with a sumptuous décor, bespoke furniture and natural tones and textures, creating a striking and contemporary interior. Designed by award-winning Lifestyle Interiors, each room showcases a distinctive style that harmonises the perfect use of space and design. The principal bedroom features high ceilings and a partition wall with walk-in wardrobes and an en suite, resulting in a luxurious boutique hotel feel.

Hayfield Grove demonstrates how sustainable living need not comprise on luxury with homes at the development achieving the highest EPC rating.  Only 2% of new builds achieve an ‘A’ rating, with a typical existing home averaging an EPC ‘D’ rating.  Hayfield’s commitment to decarbonising its homes has resulted in a zero-carbon ready specification which features solar PV panels, energy efficient underfloor heating, air source heat pump, electric vehicle fast charging points, increased insulation, and much more.

Sarah Sargeant, Sales Manager at Hayfield, said: “We are delighted with our latest show home, and excited for our visitors to see how we have redefined A-rated homes. Hayfield Grove is the first of our EPC A-rated developments and the traditional architectural detailing, combined with the modern energy efficiency measures, is really appealing to prospective homeowners who want the best of both worlds – especially with energy cost savings compared to other new build homes.” 

The development at Hayfield Grove includes the creation of 2.5-acres of outstanding new Public Open Space. This joins up with the extensive landscaped open space and fully equipped playground that was created as part of the original Hayfield Meadow scheme, which the multi award-winning housebuilder completed in 2019.

Hayfield is also creating new landscaped walking and cycling routes to connect the scheme into the neighbourhood. New wildflower planting and a biodiverse pond will create significant ecological benefits. The density of the development is much lower than typical new build schemes, with extensive planting incorporated into the masterplan, including orchard tree planting.

House-hunters and members of the public are invited to view the new show home at Hayfield Grove, which is located off Main Road, Hallow. Prices for the current release of two-bedroom bungalows and three, four and five-bedroom homes range from £525,000 to £850,000.
