ANWYL Homes has exchanged contracts to purchase 27 acres of land from Northern Trust Land on a former golf course in Lancashire for a new residential development.
The land on Tanternton Hall Road, near Preston, represents phases B and C of the redevelopment of what was previously part of Ingol Golf Course. The wider site is currently under construction and benefits from outline permission for up to 450 homes.
Anwyl’s plans for the site include a selection of semi-detached and detached, three-, four- and five-bedroom 114 private sale properties. The company’s proposals also includes 50 affordable homes comprising a mix of two- and three-bedroom apartments, mews, semi-detached and detached houses.
John Grime, managing director of Anwyl Homes Lancashire, said: “New homes being built across the former golf course have already contributed to housing targets for Ingol and the wider Preston area. We’re pleased to have exchanged contracts to acquire part of the site and look forward to delivering further much needed new quality homes. Under our plans, there would be 15 acres of public open space – that’s more than half of the land – providing a leafy setting for the homes and supporting wildlife. The public open space will feature a play area, orchard and sensory garden to help foster a sense of community.
“We’ll retain existing trees where possible and plant additional trees, including fruiting and flowering varieties to attract pollinators. We’ll also plant a wildflower meadow and provide boxes for roosting bats and nesting birds. These factors combined mean that the proposed development is predicted to deliver a 15.52% increase in habitat units.”
Savills promoted the site.
