Ingol plans by Northern Trust

Housebuilder Anwyl Homes has bought a 32.5-acre former Preston golf course from Northern Trust and is set to start development work on the site next month.

The site at Tanterton Hall Road in Ingol has planning permission for up to 164 homes. The land was sold for an undisclosed fee.

Announcing the deal, Mike Grindrod, director at Northern Trust, said: “We are delighted to have completed the sale of this well-positioned site to Anwyl Homes.

“Our focus has been on bringing forward sustainable development opportunities, and this scheme will help address local housing needs while enhancing the surrounding area. Anwyl Homes has a strong reputation for delivering high-quality new homes, and we look forward to seeing the site progress.”

Andrew Morgan, land director at Anwyl Homes Lancashire, said: “We’re pleased to have acquired this prominent parcel of land in a desirable location.

“Our development, known as Walkers Glade, will contribute 114 private sale homes and 50 affordable homes towards housing targets for Ingol and the wider Preston area. We’re aiming to start work on site next month.

“Alongside our energy efficient homes, this new neighbourhood will benefit from an abundance of open space, cycleways woodland areas and feature a well-equipped play area providing a central focal point.”

Savills acted on behalf of Northern Trust in the transaction. Jay Duffield, at Savills, added: “Having acted for Northern Trust on the sale of the first phase of development at Ingol back in 2020, we’re very pleased to have now completed the disposal of this phase of the former golf course.

“Anwyl have performed exceptionally well throughout the deal and we look forward to working with both them and our client very soon”. 

Northern Trust is a private company owned by the family of Lancashire businessman and Preston North End owner Trevor Hemmings, who passed away in 2021.

Established in 1962, it has a long track record in property investment, development and strategic land promotion.

The strategic land team at Northern Trust has secured planning for around 4,500 new homes over the last two years and has current projects covering more than 60 sites with potential to bring forward more than 10,000 new homes.

The company works closely with landowners, developers, local authorities and local communities to deliver development across the UK.
