Redrow has secured land for around 1,250 new homes across two different locations in Cheshire, including a 63.5-acre site in Congleton<\/h2>\n

The acquisition includes the site in Congleton for homes, a primary school and local shops, plus completion of a series of land deals that secures 120 acres for circa 800 new homes at the long-awaited Daresbury Garden Village, near Warrington.<\/p>\n

The Congleton site lies adjacent to Giantswood Lane, but access to the development will be via a new entrance on Manchester Road.<\/p>\n

There is outline planning consent from Cheshire East Council<\/a> for up to 500 new homes alongside a new primary school and local shops.<\/p>\n

Redrow is now preparing a reserved matters application for 452 homes from its Heritage Collection, including one and two-bedroom apartments and two, three, four and five-bedroom houses.<\/p>\n

They will include 79 affordable properties to be offered for sale at a discounted market value to meet local need.<\/p>\n

Redrow\u2019s acquisition of former farmland off Delph Lane, Daresbury, alongside the Bridgewater Canal, is the culmination of many years of work.<\/p>\n

The site first gained outline consent for up to 850 new homes from Halton Borough Council<\/a> in 2018 but land and planning negotiations, public consultation and developing the masterplan began several years earlier.<\/p>\n

Work is due to begin on the south parcel later this month, including the creation of an improved junction where Delph Lane meets the A56 Chester Road between Warrington and the M56.<\/p>\n

The north area will follow approximately six months later and involves the creation of a new junction from the A558.<\/p>\n

The whole development is expected to take around 11 years to complete and homes will be interspersed with open spaces, green corridors and areas for formal and informal play.<\/p>\n

During the course of development, Redrow will make community payments totalling \u00a38.5m to Halton Council<\/p>\n
