Barratt to build hundreds of homes at £200m mixed-use site

Housebuilder Barratt Homes is planning to build 200 houses at a £200m mixed-use site in East Yorkshire.

The Brough site, on the south side of the Hull to Selby railway track, will be home to residential, retail leisure and commercial sites.

In total 750 new homes will be built as part of the development, which is being built by the Brough South consortium.

The development as a whole will be built in four phases over the next 10 years.

Brough South will also include a new primary school, healthcare facilities, a supermarket and non-food shops, family restaurants and a variety of new premises for local businesses.

Work on phase two of Brough Relief Road started in January this year and is due to finish in October.

Site preparation work is due to start soon and is forecast to be complete by June next year.

Ian Hodges, managing director of Horncastle Group PLC, which is acting for the consortium, said he was delighted to announce Barratt Homes as the first house builder on the scheme.

He said: “Barratt Homes is a nationally recognised name and one that is synonymous with high quality, beautifully designed houses. We’re extremely pleased to have the company on board, and know they will produce homes to a standard befitting of our exciting Brough South development.”

Mr Hodges said: “We would expect to see rapid progress with the first homes being ready in the autumn or winter 2018.”

Peter Morris, development director at Barratt Homes Yorkshire East, said: “We will very shortly be submitting a reserved matters planning application for 200 dwellings that responds to the existing outline consent.

“We’re looking forward to working with the council to ensure that the application runs smoothly and that we’re ready to start on site once the preparatory works are complete so that we can continue to deliver much needed housing.”
