Barratt Homes has purchased a 94.39-acre residential development site in King’s Lynn from a private landowner for an undisclosed price.
Planning consent for 574 homes – 108 allocated as affordable – was secured for the Knight’s Hill site in November last year. The site will feature homes delivered by the Barratt and David Wilson Homes brands.
Toby Lambert, head of residential development (east) and a partner in Carter Jonas’ Cambridge office, which represented the private landowner on the sale, said: “We are extremely pleased to have completed the sale of this site to enable the new community to go ahead.
“It is a scheme with which Carter Jonas has been closely involved – gaining the original allocation in the site allocations and development plan in 2015, achieving outline consent at inquiry in July 2020, and full planning consent in November 2023 – and now culminating in this successful sale. We look forward to seeing Knight’s Hill emerge as an attractive, sustainable community, one which will go some way to addressing the housing shortage in this part of west Norfolk.”
A spokesperson for Barratt and David Wilson Homes Cambridgeshire added: “We would like to thank Carter Jonas for its support in the planning of the Knight’s Hill development. We’re very much looking forward to delivering a range of homes to the area, as well as supporting the local economy.”
