Land deal paves way for almost 300 new homes for North Liverpool
Almost 300 new homes will be built in North Liverpool following the acquisition of more than 24 acres of land.
Housebuilder Bellway’s North West operation, based in Liverpool, has purchased the land on Kenyons Lane, in Lydiate.
The proposals include a mix of two- and three-bed semi-detached homes, as well as three-, four- and five-bedroom detached houses from Bellway’s Artisan collection.
All 291 homes benefit from luxury design detailing and internal and external specification to ensure they provide flexible living space and modern lifestyles.
Previously farmland, planning consent has been granted, with Bellway starting remediation work on site in autumn.
Lydiate village benefits from everyday amenities, several primary schools, as well as a village green.
The Leeds and Liverpool Canal runs through the village, which is only 1.5 miles away from Maghull and just over 10 miles from Liverpool, offering a sought-after semi-rural setting, yet close a vibrant city centre.
Jenny Bell, sales director at Bellway, said: “This latest land acquisition in Merseyside is great news for the company.
“It is a superb location and we will be building a good selection of two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom homes, catering for all budgets.”
In addition to the new residential development, Bellway has made several significant Section 106 contributions to the locality, including £471,852 to highways to be used to improve the Kenyons Lane and A59 junction, £166,452 to healthcare and £18,333 towards mitigating recreational pressure on the Sefton coast. There will also be a 30% affordable housing provision.
With construction due to commence in the coming months, Bellway plans to release the first homes for sale in the winter and has scheduled 2023 for the opening of the show homes.
