ANWYL Homes has purchased almost nine acres of land in Bebington, Wirral, from Unilever for an undisclosed price.
The housebuilder has secured planning consent for 127 new homes on part of Unilever’s Port Sunlight research and development site on Quarry Road East.
Anwyl will deliver a mix of one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom homes – including 25 affordable properties – at the scheme, which has been named Lottie Gardens in tribute to Bebington-born sportswoman Lottie Dod.
Phil Dolan, chief operating officer for Anwyl Homes, said: “We’re excited to bring forward this brownfield site for redevelopment to provide much-needed market and affordable homes in a sustainable location. We’ve carefully designed our homes to ensure they are in keeping with the character of the surrounding community, while boasting high levels of energy efficiency, with top specification insulation and solar panels. We’ll also be retaining the woodland on site and creating a new footpath link to St Andrews Road.”
