Homes England has acquired land to deliver hundreds of homes in Coventry.

Homes England acquisition boosts housing in Coventry

The national housing agency is currently working with the City Council's planning team on plans for the former pumping station site, on London Road, which will connect communities and transform the location in to a residential scheme.


Land for the new homes was allocated by the council to unlock the brownfield site and meet Coventry's current housing need.

The Whitley pumping station is known for its Victorian historic legacy, which Homes England is keen to retain and bring back into use by working alongside the council. Proposals for the site will be shared with the public over the course of the coming year.

Homes England's involvement in the site will help to speed up delivery of this project and ensure that the land is used to its maximum potential. The provision of a good quality residential development and enhanced green infrastructure will also benefit local communities.
