Housebuilder acquires land for 239-home development

Persimmon Homes North Midlands has acquired land in Newbold Verdon, Leicestershire, to develop up to 239 new homes.

A portion of the site will be designated as a public open space, enhancing green areas and biodiversity in the community.

Under section 106, £2.1m will be contributed to the surrounding area. This includes over £1m allocated for education and £160,000 for healthcare improvements.

Dan Endersby, managing director at Persimmon Homes North Midlands said: “We’re proud to have completed the purchase of land to deliver up to 239 new homes in Newbold Verdon. Our upcoming new community will bring a wide range of new benefits to the area, including major improvements to local roads, public open spaces, healthcare, and education.

“Of course, what we do is about so much more than building quality homes. This development will not only generate significant job opportunities throughout the lifespan of the project but will also leave a lasting legacy of community benefits for the people of Newbold Verdon and the surrounding areas.”
