Redrow launches apartments in Basildon
Blindwells in East Lothian. The planning application follows
Avant Homes’ agreement to acquire the 20 acre site from developer Hargreaves Land for an undisclosed sum. The site to be acquired occupies a prominent raised position within the Blindwells develop- ment, having the benefi t of views over the Firth of Forth.
Hargreaves Land secured outline planning consent for 1,600 homes at Blindwells in 2017. The developer’s masterplan for the site also includes new education facilities, a healthcare hub, local retail outlets and a range of other services to help establish a thriving new community. Avant Homes intends to deliver 240 private homes and 102 affordable homes and will showcase 16 of its new house types.
Redrow has launched nine new apartments at its “community” of homes in Basildon, Essex. The spaciously designed Sycamore Apartments are the latest addition to the Eastern Quarter at Westley Green. The community, located in Langdon Hills, is an area known for being one of the most sought-after in Basildon for its abundance of open green space and a short distance from Langdon Hills Country Park.
All of the apartments benefi t from
Redrow’s traditional exteriors, with “modern and expansive” interiors and additional amenities. Some properties have balconies or an “amenity space” on the ground oor as well as openplan kitchen, dining and living areas. The new collection of homes are part of Redrow’s award-winning eritage ollection. Although in uenced by the Arts and Crafts movement of the late 18th and 19th century, they remain effortlessly contemporary, said the fi rm.
Subject to planning, the housebuilder will start work on site in January 2024 with the fi rst buyers epected to move in that summer and the last legal comple- tions scheduled for spring 2031. Commenting on the opportunity, Avant Homes Scotland managing director, Iain Innes, said: “Blindwells is an excellent example of placemaking, so we are very pleased to submit our plans to contribute to what will be a remarkable new location for East Lothian.”
“Our proposed development is an important part of Avant Homes’ ongoing strategic growth plan in Scotland which will provide much-needed new homes for people living in and around the area. We now look forward to East Lothian Council’s response to our submission.”
