Building work has started on over 40 new homes in South Otterington in North Yorkshire.

Developer Lovell Partnerships is behind the delivery of one, two, three and four-bedroomed homes in the village, after planning was approved last summer. Lovell Partnerships formally purchased the site at the end of March, before work commenced 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. With quick road connections to towns and cities such as Northallerton, York and Darlington, this North Yorkshire village has potential to offer the perfect home for plenty of local buyers, whether they're looking to downsize in a peaceful village, or lay down roots for a growing family."

Due to be named 'Saints Green by Peggy's Field', the site's name pays tribute to the previous owner's mother, a local farmer in the area, and will include enhanced landscaping and publicly accessible open space.
