Bellway has received planning permission for a new residential development of 90 new build homes in Croft, Warrington.

Building on the success of previous developments in the area, the housebuilder will transform the 8.5 acre site off Deacons Close with an attractive mix of two, three and four bedroom detached and semi-detached homes including 27 affordable properties.

Known as Heathfield Stud, the site has been used for a number of years as an equestrian centre, stables and stud farm for horses.

Surrounded by open fields on three sides and with a local store, pubs and schools within walking distance the location boasts a desirable semi-rural village feel that will be retained and enhanced by Bellway’s superb mix of thoughtfully designed, aesthetically pleasing homes with modern internal and external specifications, private gardens, allocated car parking spaces or garages and electric vehicle charging points.


The development will also provide an element of public open space with green areas dedicated to enhance biodiversity and offer play areas for children and walking/exercise options, linking in to public footpaths adjacent to the site.

Sales Director at Bellway Manchester, Grace Yarlett, commented: "Following a number of successful developments in Warrington, we are pleased to bring forward more new homes in the area. The site benefits from a great semi-rural location, surrounded by fields and close to open green space, yet just five miles from Warrington’s thriving town centre and within easy reach of the motorway network for venturing around the wider North West area. We're excited to bring this development forward and expect a really positive response."

It is anticipated that work will start on site later this month, with the first homes released for sale early next year and the first homes ready for occupancy by Autumn 2025.

Within the planning agreement, Bellway will make a series of Section 106 contributions totalling around £1.3million towards schools, highways and sports pitches.

The development was designed by architects APD with Gateley advising on legals.
