Plans for 114 new homes on land near Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire have been approved.
Tewkesbury Council planners have unanimously backed the proposals from Persimmon Homes’ Severn Valley division for the site to the east of the town between east
The land for the project, known as Fiddington Fields, is located to the east of Tewkesbury and south of the residential and industrial development of Northway and Ashchurch.
The scheme’s initial phase is set to deliver a mix of apartments, terraced, semi-detached and detached new homes, including 23 one-bedroom units, 32 two-bedroom units, 44 three-bedroom units and 15 four-bedroom units.
Persimmon said it will also build and transfer 39 homes to a local housing association partner.
The site’s masterplan seeks to create a network of open spaces and green corridors through the new development, as well as landscape assets such as hedgerows, trees, sports pitches, natural play areas, community allotments, plus a footpath and cycle ways.
Paul Moody, Persimmon's managing director for Severn Valley, said: “Our plans will also deliver significant community benefit for local people including significant new jobs, amenities, infrastructure and a substantial social housing contribution.
“We are delighted to secure approval for this scheme which wouldn’t have been possible without the positive engagement of officials, elected members and the local community, and the team at Persimmon, who’ve worked incredibly hard to deliver a scheme that will leave a positive long-term legacy in Fiddington.”
