Vistry, in collaboration with Homes England, has secured planning consent for phase two of the Windmill View development at Upper Lighthorne, near Leamington Spa, Warwickshire. 

Under the proposed plans, Vistry will build an additional 280 homes at the development, with 99 designated as affordable homes and the remaining 181 available for sale on the open market.

The first phase of the project, which saw initial handovers earlier this year, will provide 259 new homes. Of these, 130 will be affordable and will be owned and managed by Citizen, 50 homes are for private rent and will be available through Leaf Living, and 79 will be sold on the open market under the Linden Homes brand.

Andy Peters, managing director for south west Midlands at Vistry, said: “As the UK’s largest provider of multi-tenure homes, we are committed to collaborating Homes England, and our housing associations and PRS partners to deliver new developments such as Windmill View to life. The shortage of affordable homes across the UK provides a significant challenge, and we are intensifying our efforts to address this issue and provide homes where they are most needed.”
