Work due to start on Middlewich housing scheme in February
By Belinda Ryan - Local Democracy Reporter 10th Dec 2024
Construction is expected to start in February on 65 affordable homes in Middlewich.
Cheshire East's southern planning committee approved the application last week for the new scheme, which will comprise a mix of one to four-bedroom affordable homes for rent and shared ownership.
The development, which will sit on land to the east and west of Croxton Lane adjacent to the Trent and Mersey Canal, will also include a children's play area and green space.
The site originally had permission for 52 homes after Anwyl Land was given the go-ahead for its development in April of last year.
Breck bought the site from Anwyl in December.
Andy Garnett, director of Breck said: "There is a real demand for quality affordable housing in the Middlewich and Cheshire area, particularly for smaller two to three-bedroom properties, and this development has been brought forward specifically with this local need in mind.
"Half of the properties will be available for shared ownership, meaning this new development will not only create a new community, giving local individuals, couples and families a new place to call home, but will also mean many will have an opportunity to own their property, something they otherwise may not have been able to.
"We are looking forward to starting on-site in the new year and working with Great Places with a view to completing the development in 2027."
Breck, which is based at Walton Summit, near Preston, specialises in developing affordable houses between 25 and 250 units for registered affordable housing providers as well as homes for open market sale on sites between 10 and 50 units.
It is currently building more than 100 properties for Torus at Broughton Road in Crewe, as well as 205 units at Wharton Road, Winsford for Jigsaw, which is expected to complete in 2026.
