The Hill Group, has been selected as delivery partner by Buckinghamshire Council to develop two key housing developments providing more than 177 new homes.
On Bellfield Road, in High Wycombe, the developer will transform a disused storage facility into 68 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments all available through affordable rent. Hill will submit a reserved matters planning application for the site in the spring.
And at Ashwells Field, Tylers Green, it will deliver more than 100 two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom homes set around landscaped gardens. The homes will include private sale and a mix of affordable tenures.
Andy Hill, group chief executive of The Hill Group, said: “As a leading housebuilder, we are honoured to have been entrusted by Buckinghamshire Council to play a pivotal role in the transformation of two prominent land sites in the High Wycombe area. This is a testament to our commitment to delivering sustainable and thriving communities that align with the needs and aspirations of residents.
“We wholeheartedly embrace the opportunity to shape the future of these sites and create enduring value for the people of High Wycombe. Our teams will collaborate closely with local stakeholders to bring our shared vision for these communities to fruition, and we are confident that together we can make a lasting impact that will benefit generations to come.”
John Chilver, Buckinghamshire Council’s cabinet member for accessible housing and resources, said: “As a council we are committed to supporting our communities and ensuring that there is enough affordable housing across Buckinghamshire that is accessible for our residents. Using land we own at Bellfield as one of the sites, we are committed to building a range of affordable options for renters and buyers across the two developments in High Wycombe.
“Not only will we work to deliver high quality designs, we are also ensuring that the new homes will be sustainable to run with an enhanced energy performance. We are pleased to work with The Hill Group and are hoping to produce high quality homes that create thriving communities at these two High Wycombe sites.”
Both developments will adhere to the council’s design guide and feature designs by architects Pollard Thomas Edwards and landscape architects The Environment Partnership. The Bellfield Road development will employ modern methods of construction through Hill’s partner Fusion Steel Framing to streamline the construction process.
