Preparation works begin for £23m housing development
Beal Homes has begun groundworks for a new housing scheme in Beverley.
St Mary’s View will offer a selection of two, three and four-bedroom homes, as well as three-bedroom bungalows.
The £23m development will feature 90 homes, with the first buyers expected to move into their new properties in summer 2022.
Almost 600 potential buyers have already registered their interest in St Mary’s View, although there has been no marketing activity for the development before now.
The start of works on the 7.3-acre site, off Poplars Way, follows the success of Beal’s fastest-selling development, which is also in Beverley.
The 55 homes at St John’s Fold, close to Beverley Minster, were bought within 12 months, with the final buyers moving in last autumn.
Sue Waudby, Beal sales and marketing director, said: “The beginning of work on site signals to homebuyers that they will soon have the opportunity to secure a new luxury Beal home close to the heart of Beverley.
“Developments of this size in a location such as this, very close to the Westwood and a short walk to Beverley town centre, are extremely rare and we are confident St Mary’s View will be in high demand.”
Beal Construction Director John Goodfellow said: “We’re excited to be on site with another development in Beverley following the success of St John’s Fold.
“We’re working with our long-established supply chain within the region, including several contractors who worked on St John’s Fold, so this will deliver a significant economic boost as well as creating much-needed new homes for local people.”
The groundworks are being carried out by East Coast Construction, based in Brandesburton, East Yorkshire.
East Coast Construction managing director, Phil Reed, said: “We’re delighted to have been awarded this project by Beal Homes and look forward to working with our client to support the delivery of high-quality housing for the local community.
“We’re delivering a full groundworks package at the St Mary’s View site, installing all the main roads and drainage system, as well as foundations for the first 12 houses, in preparation for Beal’s own teams starting work on site by mid-September.”
