Anwyl acquires Longridge site

Ninety-five new homes will be added to a residential development in Longridge after Anwyl Homes purchased eight acres of land.

The site, situated on Inglewhite Road in Longridge, is the firm's first development in the county after  opening a regional office earlier this year.

Having already received planning consent, Anwyl will start construction in June, building range of three bedroom semi-detached and detached homes, and three and four bedroom detached homes, ranging from 850 sq ft up to 1790 sq ft in size.

Anwyl will retain the location's existing mature trees and hedgerows as features.

John Grime, managing director at Anwyl Homes Lancashire, said: “We are delighted to have acquired our first piece of land in Lancashire and we are looking forward to getting started on site, introducing the Anwyl brand and our thoughtfully designed homes to potential purchasers in Longridge and across Lancashire."

In addition, the development will make a significant financial contribution to the local community, including an education contribution of £234,577, which will be used towards additional primary school places, a payment of approximately £600,000 through a Community Infrastructure Levy, which will be used by the Local Authority across a number of services and facilities. The development will also include a number of affordable homes. Part of a larger scheme of 190 homes, the new development will form a joint venture with David Wilson Homes, and will be known as Inglewhite Meadows.
