Vistry has secured a resolution to grant permission for 780 mixed-tenure new homes and a host of community facilities at North Weald Bassett in Essex.
The application was submitted in accordance with a strategic masterplan jointly developed by Vistry and Epping Forest District Council, which aims to ensure that North Weald Bassett maintains its village feel and protects existing community assets.
The scheme will also improve the range of local services and green spaces available, through the delivery of a new local centre, sustainable alternative natural greenspace and land reserved for a new community building, health centre and primary school.
James Harkin, head of Vistry Strategic Land, said: “This is a fantastic development that will deliver much-needed high quality homes for residents, as well as providing the vital community facilities required to support long-term and sustainable communities. Working in partnership with Epping Forest District Council and incorporating feedback from the extensive public consultation that has been carried out, has enabled us to produce an application that will have a transformative impact for local residents.”
