Vistry has acquired a development site at Branston Locks, near Burton-upon-Trent, from Places for People Developments on which it intends to deliver 100 new family homes.
Places for People acquired 103 acres at Branston Locks last year as part of a wider phase that will deliver approximately 1,500 mixed-tenure homes.
Across the wider development, more than 500 homes are already occupied with a further 400 under reserved matters approval. Once complete, the 400-acre mixed-use Branston Locks scheme will provide 2,500 homes alongside 1m sq ft of commercial space.
Martyn Johnson, land director for Vistry North West Midlands, said: “Branston Locks is a significant development for Burton-upon-Trent, and we are excited to be building high quality family homes which will form an integral part of this growing new community. This acquisition reflects our commitment to partnership working and to delivering the homes people need in sustainable, well-connected locations, supported by local infrastructure, green space and community facilities.”
