Triple land acquisition strengthens Midlands developer’s presence

Owl Group, a Midlands-based home builder with headquarters in Tamworth, has acquired three land sites within the region.

It has secured a 6.39-acre development site in Higham on the Hill, Leicestershire, with outline planning permission for 61 homes. Of these homes, 36 will be available for private sale, while 25 will be designated as affordable homes.

Another acquisition involves a 41-home development site on Habberley Road in Bewdley, Worcestershire, with reserved matters planning permission for various home sizes. Thirty-one homes will be offered for private sale, and the remaining 10 will be managed as affordable homes by Citizen Homes.

In addition, Owl Partnerships, a part of Owl Group, has embarked on its largest affordable housing project in Leicester. Collaborating with Nottingham Community Housing Association, they have acquired a former warehouse site with full planning permission for constructing 100 affordable homes. The development plan encompasses a mix of one-bedroom, two-bedroom, three-bedroom, and four-bedroom homes, totaling 100 units.

Dave Bradley, managing director of Owl Group and Owl Partnerships, said: “We are thrilled to have successfully acquired these three strategic land sites as it aligns perfectly with our vision for growth and our commitment to delivering exceptional housing solutions in the Midlands.

“These acquisitions not only expand our presence in key areas but also allow us to bring our hallmark quality to more communities, both through private sale and affordable housing options. We are excited to embark on these projects and contribute to the development of sustainable and inclusive residential communities across the region.”
