Homes England<\/a> has sold two of its sites to developer Vistry Partnerships<\/a> which will see 935 homes be built<\/h2>\n

The two sites include the Sandymoor site in Halton and Lea Castle Hospital site near Kidderminster.<\/p>\n

Sandymoor site<\/h3>\n

At the Sandymoor site in Halton, the Homes England has concluded a deal with Vistry Partnerships to develop 11 hectares of land for delivery of 335 homes.<\/p>\n

The development will provide a range of housing types, including two, three and four-bedroom houses for market sale and affordable homes<\/a> in a 100- apartment extra care scheme, to be delivered in partnership with Halton Housing Trust<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As well as using its land capabilities to bring the site forward for development, the agency also utilised a grant from the Affordable Housing programme to support the delivery of affordable housing in excess of what is required by the planning authority.<\/p>\n

The wider 50-hectare Sandymoor site has capacity for up to 1,500 homes.<\/p>\n

Alongside new homes, the site already accommodates a brand-new secondary school and work is anticipated to start next year on the development of a new local centre to meet the needs of residents.<\/p>\n

Homes England is now working to secure planning permission<\/a> for the southern phases of Sandymoor and Wharford Farm, to bring forward further new homes.<\/p>\n

Lea Castle Hospital site<\/h3>\n

600 homes will be built at the former Lea Castle hospital site near Kidderminster, with work set to start immediately.<\/p>\n

The scheme will be delivered by Lea Castle JV LLP, a joint venture between Vistry and Citizen Housing<\/a> and will consist of one, two, three and four-bedroom homes in a range of tenures.<\/p>\n

Detailed planning consent has recently been secured by Vistry Partnerships for the 49-hectare site and this scheme will also deliver affordable housing in excess of what is required by the local planning authority.<\/p>\n

Opportunities for the housebuilding sector<\/h3>\n

Stephen Kinsella, chief land and development officer at Homes England, said: \u201cThese deals demonstrate that we\u2019re continuing to support ambitious partners who share our aim of delivering much-needed new homes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the housebuilding industry<\/a> is facing a challenging time, it\u2019s vital that we continue to work with partners to create development opportunities like this to help the sector recover.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt both sites we\u2019re delivering more affordable homes than were required, and at Lea Castle, development will be able to start on site immediately thanks to Vistry securing reserved matters planning consent via virtual planning committee.<\/p>\n

Stephen Teagle, Vistry Partnerships CEO, added: \u201cWe are very pleased to once again be working in partnership with Homes England to transform these two important sites.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese vital developments will provide a range of new affordable homes, enhance the existing landscape and boost economic growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey also increase the number of homes that we are currently delivering on Homes England\u2019s sites to over 3,000, exemplifying our reputation as a leading partnerships organisation.<\/p>\n

\u201cVistry Partnerships is absolutely committed to delivering quality homes to help support the UK economy as we begin our recovery and we already have more than 5,000 people working safely on 74 contracting sites and 34 mixed tenure sites across the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n
