Anwyl Homes has acquired 11.5 acres of land in Haydock, Lancashire, from Hollins Strategic Land (HSL) and private landowners for an undisclosed price.
The housebuilder intends to deliver 118 new homes on the site, which benefits from outline planning consent for up to 130 new homes.
Of the new homes, 82 three- and four-bedroom homes will be available for private sale and 36 homes (30% of the development) will be affordable housing.
Subject to planning, Anwyl hopes to start work on site in autumn 2025, with the first homes due to be released for sale in early 2026.
Paul Darwin, land director for Anwyl Homes Lancashire, said: “The outline permission established the principle of development on the site and we’re now drawing up our reserved matters application, which we aim to submit to St Helens Council in early 2025. There’s been a lack of new homes built in the Haydock area in recent years so this development will provide much needed new homes in an excellent location.”
Jeremy Boyd, special projects director at HSL, added: “HSL negotiated planning permission for much needed new homes on this former green belt land adding to our ever growing portfolio of successful projects across the country. We are delighted that Anwyl Homes saw the potential to create a high quality development and moved swiftly to purchase the site. HSL will continue to work with other landowners in the North West and elsewhere to add significant value to their landholdings.”
Deloitte acted for Anwyl, JMW Solicitors acted for HSL and Penningtons Manches Cooper represented the landowners.
