Housebuilder completes purchase of former brickworks site

Keepmoat Homes has completed the purchase of the former brickworks site on Stallings Lane in Kingswinford.

The land, which is now an open expanse of redundant land, has been purchased from Ibstock Brick and will be transformed into a 169 homes development.

Comprising a mixed tenure of 154 two-, three- and four- bedroom houses and 15 apartments, a percentage will be made affordable and available for shared ownership and affordable rent.

Charlotte Goode, regional managing director at Keepmoat Homes, said: ‘’We are very excited to progress with our plans and breathe new life into Kingswinford. Our aim for the area is to transform the vacant site into a thriving inclusive community that will benefit not only those who live there but also to the surrounding area.

“We have a strong track record of delivering new homes across the country, particularly on brownfield land such as this and this acquisition is a fantastic opportunity to strengthen our presence in the area and is another step towards our ambitious growth plans in the West Midlands, where we are currently searching for additional land for immediate delivery.”

Following planning approval by Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council, construction is expected to commence in Spring 2021.
The development will take around four years to complete.
