PLANS for 1,000 new homes near Nantwich are moving forward now that a sale of land in Reaseheath has been completed. A consortium of builders Taylor Wimpey, David Wilson Homes and Redrow Homes has completed the purchase of a site in Reaseheath, which has planning permission for more than 1,000 properties. The plans for the development include affordable housing, land reserved for a district centre and new school as well as large areas of Public Open Spaces including equipped play areas, and open spaces. The development will also make financial contributions towards off site highway improvements, primary and secondary schools, and public realm. Ian Harrison, land and planning director at Taylor Wimpey North West, said: “This development is a long time in the making and we’re delighted to partner with both David Wilson and Redrow to buy this site and bring much-needed housing to the area. “The Reaseheath development promises to be much more than just houses – we’re building a community we want new and existing residents in and around the area to be a part of and proud to live in.” Jason Corner, development director at David Wilson Homes, said: “This development will provide a positive addition to Nantwich and we are delighted to be working alongside Taylor Wimpey and Redrow. “The scheme will provide new homes and community benefits along with highway improvements for the wider area.” Alex Wood, land director for Redrow Homes (NW), added: “Redrow is proud to be part of the consortium which will create a sustainable new community, complete with homes, school, employment and sports and recreational opportunities in the town, and will deliver significant improvements to the local area in addition.” The step forward for the development was welcomed by Nantwich town councillor and Mayor of Cheshire East, Arthur Moran, who said the news of a new school and improvements to the highways are particularly exciting. Cllr Moran said: “When we (Nantwich Town Council) were asked to comment on the local plan, it was on of the areas supported by the town council, unlike some of the sites that have since been developed. “It is a big development for Nantwich and it will provide a lot of facilities.” Work on the site will start this summer.
