Another 470 homes approved at 1,700-home development
Plans for 479 homes at the 1,700-home Top Farm development in Weddington, Nuneaton, have been approved by Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council.
It marks another step forward for Develop Warwickshire, a partnership between Vistry, Warwickshire Property & Development Group (WPDG) and Warwickshire County Council.
The new homes will include 120 affordable properties through Platform, 135 for the private rental sector and 124 for the open market.
The approved plans also include a park, BMX track, habitat pond, balancing ponds and footpaths connecting to nearby developments.
Work on the first 51 family homes began this summer, alongside infrastructure work to create a northern link road connecting surrounding communities.
The road will also provide access to the new 11-16 secondary school, set to support 900 pupils and open in September 2025.
Homes are being built using modern construction methods, featuring energy-efficient designs, air source heat pumps, electric vehicle charging points, and sustainable drainage systems.
Phil McHugh, Vistry Group’s managing director for North West Midlands, said: “We are excited to get planning approval for the next phase of much-needed homes at Top Farm. Getting the green light to build a further 479 family homes marks another milestone in our commitment to delivering over 2,000 high-quality, affordable homes that enhance communities and meet the diverse housing needs in Warwickshire.”
Stuart Buckley, managing director of WDPG, said: “Develop Warwickshire continues to make impressive progress and the approval of the next 479 sustainable homes at Top Farm marks a pivotal step in the joint venture’s ambitious plans. This latest announcement sees the partnership continue its work to create a thriving new community in Nuneaton and deliver vital homes for Warwickshire.”
