Lovell has secured planning consent to deliver 121 new homes on a site in Wombourne, Staffordshire.
Of the new homes, 40% will be affordable – 25 for social rent and 24 shared ownership – with the remaining 72 available for open market purchase.
The site will comprise a diverse mix of dwellings ranging from one-bed bungalows to five-bedroom family homes. The scheme will also feature allotments, a community orchard, play area and sustainable drainage systems.
Steve Ulfig, regional land and pre-construction director at Lovell, said: “Working with the council to get the go ahead on this scheme will allow us to provide high quality, sustainable housing in an area where people want to live. Most importantly, when we’ve designed this development, we’ve considered not just the houses but given equal focus to providing ample green space and creating a sense of community.
“As part of our Section 106 agreement we’ll also be investing in the existing facilities with £82,000 for bus stop improvements and more than £100,000 to support healthcare provision. When it comes to tackling the housing crisis we need to look beyond the houses at the infrastructure and resident wellbeing, which these investments will support.”
