Housing developer secures land in Shrewsbury
Anwyl Homes is preparing to start work on a new housing development in Shrewsbury.
The homebuilder is set to deliver 106 new homes in Bicton Heath having acquired a 11.3-acre site.
Work on the development, to be named Five Oaks will begin later this month.
The first homes are due to be released for sale in mid-2024. It is anticipated the scheme will be completed in 2026.
The plans were approved by Shropshire Council’s northern planning committee in January.
The two, three and four-bedroom properties will be energy efficient, with wider cavities for extra insulation and solar PV panels to all roofs. This high specification is in line with recent changes to building regulations, saving homeowners even more money on their energy bills and reducing carbon emissions.
The development will also provide 21 affordable homes, in one, two and three-bedroom designs.
Phil Dolan, managing director of Anwyl Homes CNW, said: “Shrewsbury, like so many other neighbourhoods, has an identified need for new homes. The site we’re about to start work on is included in the current local plan for housing development as a sustainable urban extension for Shrewsbury.
“Our development will offer a good choice of private sale properties, while also providing affordable housing for local needs. Our aim is to provide a visually attractive development that combines good architecture, urban design and landscaping. Externally the homes will echo the vernacular of the surrounding area. They’ll also be energy efficient and designed to meet the demands of modern living.”
