Countryside Partnerships has reached a deal with Torus, the Liverpool-based housing association, for a £400million development in Warrington that will create around 1,200 homes.
The 170-acre Pell Hall site will see 1190 houses built, half of which will be affordable homes split evenly between shared ownership and affordable rent, and the other half for private sale.
Torus currently owns close to 40,000 across the North West and is aiming to grow its collection by building an additional 5,600 homes over the next five years.
The delivery of the scheme is expected to be complete by 2029 with Vistry ensuring the diversity of the homes on-site by using its three housing brands – Bovis Homes, Linden Homes and Countryside.
Stephen Teagle, chief executive of Countryside Partnerships, said: “It’s a great example of the housing solutions that we can bring forward because we’re planning to use three brands on that site, Linden, Bovis and Countryside. That allows us to deliver 50% affordable, and to deliver a wide range of housing choice.”
The proposed site, which was initially rejected by Warrington Council before eventually receiving planning approval after a successful appeal to the secretary of state in November 2021, will also see Countryside Partnerships’ modular construction factory in Warrington used.
Alongside the variety of houses, Countryside Partnerships has said that the development will also include major public realm open space and new sports facilities.
