Village site to accommodate more than 40 homes

A new housing estate is coming to a North Yorkshire village as work begins to develop 42 homes.

National developer Lovell Partnerships is behind the delivery of one, two, three and four-bedroomed homes in South Otterington, after planning was approved last summer.

The company purchased the site at the end of March, before work started on 2 April.

The mixed tenure scheme will include 10 two-bedroomed bungalows and 12 affordable homes alongside properties suitable for families and young professionals.

Phil Jones, regional head of land and partnerships at Lovell, said: “The mixed tenure that this development offers will provide much-needed house types including bungalows that are currently in demand nationally, as well as affordable options.”

The site will be named “Saints Green by Peggy’s Field,” in tribute to the previous owner’s mother, a local farmer in the area. It will also include enhanced landscaping and publicly accessible open space.

Paul Devaney, regional managing director for Lovell North East, added: “With every development we create, we strive to respect and support the surrounding area, ensuring we are genuinely building upon the existing community there.

“It’s fantastic to begin working on such this brilliant new neighbourhood – one of many in the pipeline for us across the region this year.”

The site is expected to be complete by summer 2025, with the show home set to open in September this year.
