Lovell and Repton Property Developments marked a major milestone with a special ceremony to celebrate the completion of their award-winning housing project, St Edmund's Park, in Acle.
The event recognised the successful delivery of the 137-home development—the first to be completed under the partnership between Lovell and Repton Property Developments. The scheme includes 69 homes for open market sale and 68 affordable homes available for rent or shared ownership, managed by Clarion Housing.
Construction on the site began in August 2020, with all homes fully occupied by 2024. The development has gained acclaim not only for the quality of its homes but also for its strong community ties, including a notable collaboration with The Wensum Trust. This partnership provided local students with career inspiration through events, site tours, and apprenticeships.
During the celebration, a local resident shared their positive experience of life at St Edmund's Park, commenting on the enjoyment of living there and the quality of their new home.
Councillor Jane James, cabinet member at Norfolk County Council and Repton Board member, said: "We're incredibly proud to celebrate the completion of St Edmund’s Park, our largest development to date and the first delivered through our valued partnership with Lovell. This project exemplifies our commitment to delivering high-quality homes that are both affordable and sustainable, while also generating a meaningful return for Norfolk County Council. It’s a fantastic example of how public-private collaboration can create thriving communities and lasting value."
Simon Medler, Managing Director for Lovell, said: "The finalisation of St Edmund’s Park is a proud milestone for Lovell. This development reflects what strong partnerships can achieve, not just high-quality homes, but real opportunities for people in the community. Collaborating with Repton, Clarion Housing and The Wensum Trust has made it all the more rewarding, from creating valuable apprenticeships to supporting wellbeing on site. It’s wonderful to see these homes lived in and appreciated."
