THE GREEN light has been given for more new homes at Upper Lighthorne.
Stratford District Council has given the go-ahead to phase two of the Windmill View development for an additional 280 properties, including 99 affordable homes.
The application was submitted by homebuilder Vistry in collaboration with Homes England.
Andy Peters, Vistry’s managing director for South West Midlands: “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.”
The first phase of the project, which saw initial handovers earlier this year, will provide 259 new homes. Of these, 130 will be affordable homes, 50 will be homes for private rent, while 79 will be sold on the open market.
The work also triggers an investment of over £2million in healthcare, education, roads and other local services for both current and new members of the community.
Windmill View forms part of a wider development which will eventually provide around 1,000 homes.
