A residential development at a former RAF base in Weston-super-Mare is to take flight after housebuilder Keepmoat committed to invest \u00a383m into the scheme.<\/p>\n
The 425-home Winterstoke Gate development, which is located between Mendip Hills and Golden Sands, is part of a wider regeneration scheme across the Somerset town.<\/p>\n
The site has also benefitted from \u00a310m from the Government\u2019s Local Authority Accelerated Construction Fund administered by Homes England.<\/p>\n
There will be 125 affordable homes within the scheme, which makes up part of the wider Parklands Village development being delivered alongside multiple partners.<\/p>\n
Cllr Mark Canniford, North Somerset Council’s executive member for placemaking and economy, said: \u201cWinterstoke Gate is the first major residential project to be taken forward as part of North Somerset\u2019s Development Programme, so it\u2019s great to see the progress made in creating this new community. The homes we\u2019re building will meet top standards of sustainability and energy efficiency, cutting residents\u2019 fuel bills and reducing their carbon footprints through modern, high quality design.”<\/p>\n
135 homes are designed to be carbon neutral, while the remaining 290 will meet the anticipated Future Homes Standard.<\/p>\n
John Owen, land and partnerships director at Keepmoat, added: “Our Winterstoke Gate development is adding value to the area, providing much needed regeneration to Weston-super-Mare. We\u2019re delighted to be able to offer 20 apprenticeships during the development of this project to upskill the industry\u2019s future workforce.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
