Land remediation work starts on 195-home Burtonwood scheme

Housebuilder, Bellway, has started remediation work at its latest scheme in Burtonwood, Warrington, which will create 195 homes.

Located on the site of the former RAF Burtonwood base, the development is part of the wider mixed use Omega South scheme delivering around 1,400 homes, including those for families, first time buyers and the elderly, shopping and leisure facilities and green spaces including a 35 acre park for the wider community.

Providing a historical nod to the site’s former use as an airfield, the Bellway development covers 5.45 hectares and will be known as The Landings.

It will comprise a mix of three-, four- and five-bedroom detached homes and three-bedroom semi-detached homes, all with private gardens and one or two allocated car parking spaces, plus one- and two-bedroom affordable homes.

Part of Bellway’s Artisan Collection, properties at The Landings are individually designed with an internal and external specification including many luxurious features to ensure a flexible and modern living space.

Sales director at Bellway North West, Jenny Bell, said: “We look forward to releasing our first phase of new homes for sale.

“The overall plans for Omega are fantastic. When complete, it will result in a thriving new community within easy reach of both Liverpool and Warrington and close to a great selection of everyday amenities, open green spaces and parks.

“We expect strong interest from young and old as well as families looking to make the move to a vibrant new part of Warrington.”

Within the planning conditions for the development, a number of Section 106 contributions will be made towards healthcare, open space, primary and secondary education, public transport and community sports facilities.

Construction at The Landings is expected to take around four years. The first properties will be released for sale early next year, with showhomes to follow in the summer.
