St Mods gets all clear for further house building in Longbridge
DEVELOPER St Modwen has been given the green light to build19 more homes at its Park View residential development in Birmingham.
Built by St Modwen Homes, the new properties at the Longbridge scheme will form an extension to the first phase of Park View – where only two of the 113 homes now remain for sale since the development’s launch just over a year ago.
Construction is due to begin this month on the new phase which will boast a mixture of individually designed two and three bedroomed detached, semi-detached and terraced houses.
The Park View development is part of the Birmingham developer’s £1bn Longbridge regeneration scheme.
Work is underway on the £70m new town centre featuring a Sainsbury’s supermarket, 75 bedroom Premier Inn hotel, cafes, bars and restaurants and the £2m urban Austin Park.
Richard Hickman, planning manager at St Modwen, said: “These new homes will provide much needed housing and the residents will also be among the first to benefit from the new facilities being delivered at our transformation of Longbridge.”
Launched in 2011, Park View was St Modwen Homes’ first residential site in the UK and its success has led the developer to acquire further sites across the country, including Locking Parklands near Weston-super-Mare, Wembley Central in London and Littlecombe in Dursley, Gloucestershire.
