Crest Nicholson has received planning approval for 109 new homes as part of the latest expansion phase in the Meon Vale development, a large-scale residential project on the outskirts of the historic town of Stratford-upon-Avon.

The new homes will feature a variety of Crest Nicholson's designs, including the 'Filey' and the 'Windsor' house types, providing a mix of two, three, four and five-bedroom homes. Each unit will come equipped with sustainable technology, including photovoltaic (PV) solar panels and Electric Vehicle (EV) charging points, underscoring Crest Nicholson’s commitment to energy efficiency and reducing environmental impact.

Significantly, 40% of the homes in the phase have been allocated for affordable housing. The breakdown includes 29 units set aside for affordable rent, along with nine homes available through shared ownership, offering more accessible homeownership opportunities to local residents and contributing to the area’s affordable housing stock.

Tim Brickley, Managing Director for Crest Nicholson Midlands commented: "We are delighted to have secured planning permission to deliver much needed, energy efficient homes within the village. Being able to offer 40% of the development as affordable housing is an important step in making home ownership more accessible and we look forward to providing high quality new homes that will contribute to the vibrant, sustainable community of Meon Vale."

Work is anticipated to start in early 2025 with the first homes due for completion towards the end of the year.
