Woodhead gets green light for 67 Edwinstowe homes
Woodhead Homes, part of the Woodhead Group, has been granted permission to build 67 brand new homes at its Rufford Pastures site in its home village of Edwinstowe, Nottinghamshire.
The development was voted for unanimously by Newark and Sherwood District Council’s Planning Committee on Wednesday 25th January. It will include a mix of three, four and five bedroom luxury houses, with a selection of two and three bedroom bungalows.
Work is expected to begin on the six and a half acre site in April 2017, with the first homes becoming available in the Autumn. Woodhead Homes will open its sales centre at Edwinstowe House in February so people can view site plans and reserve their plot.
Leo Woodhead, sales manager for Woodhead Homes, said: “We are delighted to have been granted planning permission for what will be a fantastic addition to our village.
“When we purchased the site last summer, it already had outline planning permission for 72 dwellings, but on reflection we reduced the number of homes, as we felt the original proposals were too dense for its position on the fringes of the village.”
Rufford Pastures will include green spaces, an orchard, a central ‘green boulevard’ at the heart of the development, and a children’s play area. The green spaces have been designed to form a ‘green loop’ around the development, to encourage walking, jogging and recreation. There is also a focus on linking the development back to the existing village through fostering footpath links.
House types have been named Faber, Catkin, Shore, Cooper, Foxtail and Shortleaf, all of which are common names of Conifer – a nod to the site’s Sherwood Forest location.
All homes will aim to achieve an EPC rating B, as a minimum.
