A housing developer has completed the first homes on a massive new estate in Witham. The development, called The Mulberries near Lodge Farm, Witham, includes 750 homes and a primary school. Redrow Homes developers will launch 13 of their new homes at a special event. The new homes are being sold from Fenn Wright Estate Agents on Newland Street in Witham. Redrow Homes secured outline planning permission to develop Lodge Farm in May 2016. In January the developer applied to Braintree Council for permission for the first 91 homes to be built on the land, which was granted. The first stage of development started in August. Redrow's sales director Kerry McCoubrey said: “At Redrow the creation of sustainable communities is a key commitment. "It means that we deliver much needed new homes in locations that benefit from excellent transport links, we provide open space that encourages social interaction and the fostering of community ties and we contribute to the improvement of surrounding infrastructure and facilities. “The apartments launching at The Mulberries are ideal for people to get a foothold on the property ladder, providing excellent value of money and perfectly located for commuting to either London or Cambridge. "The Government backed Help to Buy scheme is also available on all of the one and two bedroom apartments that are launching, which means the homes can be purchased with just a five per cent deposit.”
UK house builder Redrow Homes has completed the first of 750 homes on a development in Witham, Essex. Thirteen properties at the Mulberries site are set to go on sale after development began in August. The £1bn development, which will include two schools, shops, offices and homes, is being built by Redrow, one of Britain’s biggest housebuilders.
