Planning Consent Secured For New Homes In Windsor

Construction News Image
Wates Developments business has secured planning consent on land in Windsor and sold the scheme to Crest Nicholson.

The release of land from the Green Belt was secured last year through an allocation in the recently adopted Windsor and Maidenhead Borough Local Plan.

The team worked closely with the community, key stakeholders and Local Authority to develop plans for the residential development and subsequently obtained outline planning consent on part of the site.

The plans include 135 much-needed homes, (40% of which will be affordable housing), for the 5.4ha site. Plans include landscaped open spaces, (including recreational space), blue-green infrastructure and sustainable technologies, with a 30.69% net gain in biodiversity that will far exceed local and national planning policy. The site will also deliver improvements to walking and cycling routes into Windsor and other local destinations, as well as improvements to the A308 network to increase capacity.

The disposal was supported by Leaders Romans Group. The scheme has been sold to Crest Nicholson, a leading residential housebuilder with a track record in creating well-designed, high-quality homes in sustainable communities.

David Brocklebank, Executive Managing Director, Wates Developments Group, said: "We are pleased to have completed this sale of a parcel of our land interest in Windsor to Crest, and with great support from Leaders Romans Group. This is a truly exceptional new homes site and a fantastic location for a new community in Windsor. We expect to secure planning for the remainder of the wider site early in 2023 to allow the whole scheme to come forward quickly."

The reserved matters planning application is now being prepared for submission and expected to take place in the first half of 2023.
