A new collaboration has been launched to develop up to 58 homes on the former Manor Park Secondary School site in Nuneaton.

Warwickshire Property & Development Group (WPDG) has teamed up with Seddon Housing Partnerships to transform the site, which has been unused since the school's closure in 2010. Together, WPDG and Seddon will prepare a Reserved Matters planning application for submission to Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council, paving the way for construction to commence.

Outline planning consent has already been granted and the development is set to comprise a mix of two, three and four bedroom properties, including seven dwellings for affordable housing.Enabling works will include the demolition of existing buildings and remediation of the site, with work on the new homes expected to start in early next year, pending the result of the Reserved Matters application.


WPDG was established by Warwickshire County Council in 2021 to realise the potential of its development sites, commercial buildings and mineral rights in the most sustainable way possible.

Tony Bunney, Senior Development Manager at WPDG, said: "This scheme will sustainably redevelop a disused site near the town centre into a thriving new community and we are looking forward to working with Seddon Construction to bring it forward.

"Alongside our scheme at Top Farm, this development will help to meet the housing demands in Nuneaton and provide high-quality, sustainable homes for people in the town. Activity will be getting underway on site over the coming weeks, with enabling works beginning as we continue to prepare the next stage of our planning application in partnership with Seddon."

Peter Jackson, Managing Director of Seddon Housing Partnerships and MEP/Renewable Energy, said: "We are honoured to be collaborating with WPDG to deliver this paramount project. Our team is committed to delivering exceptional results, ensuring that these houses exceed the expectations of the Nuneaton community."

The new homes are the first phase of development on the site of the former Manor Park Secondary School, with outline planning consent also secured for an up to 65-unit Extra Care scheme.
