Anwyl Homes has acquired a 12.6-acre parcel of land at the Omega mixed-use development site in Warrington for an undisclosed price.
The land already benefits from outline planning permission and Anwyl intends to submit a reserved matters application to Warrington Borough Council seeking approval for 153 new homes.
The homebuilder bought the site from Omega Warrington Ltd (OWL), a subsidiary of M2 Group, trading as Miller Developments.
The site will be used to deliver phase five of the redevelopment of the former 600-acre RAF Burtonwood airbase, which has been delivered through a partnership between OWL and Homes England.
John Grime, managing director of Anwyl Homes Lancashire, said: “The Omega development has created a vibrant new neighbourhood in west Warrington. It’s proven to be a very popular location for families and commuters, with easy access to motorway and transport services. We’ve been keen to be a part of the new neighbourhood and are pleased to have acquired one of the last remaining parcels of land here.
“We plan to build 153 new homes – 115 private sale properties and 38 affordable homes – to cater for local need. A two-form entry primary school, 35-acre country park and a commercial hub are all complete and operational as part of the wider masterplan, providing excellent amenities for residents.”
David Milloy, managing director of M2 Group, added: “Anwyl Homes are a welcome addition to Omega with their good quality product. Their professionalism enabled the sale to be completed in a swift manner and we wish Anwyl all the best with their development.”
Subject to reserved matters approval, work is expected to start in spring next year, with the first homes due to be released for sale in the autumn. CBRE and Addleshaw Goddard LLP acted for the vendors and Deloitte LLP represented Anwyl.
