Construction News Image
Gleeson Homes has been granted planning permission to build 330 homes on Apedale Road, in Newcastle Under Lyme.

The development which is set to be named Watermills, after the Watermills Wood, will see the 39.5 acre plot of unused land be transformed into beautiful, high quality, low-cost 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes built in Gleeson’s urban and rural elevation styles.

With house prices on the development anticipated to start from £140,000 Gleeson expects these homes to be highly attractive to first-time buyers, growing families and downsizers local to the area and nearby.

Construction at Watermills is expected to start in Spring of 2023 with the first homes released for sale around Spring 2023. The development’s three show homes are expected to launch in October 2023, and the first residents expected to move into their new homes in the Autumn of 2023.

Gleeson is eager to support the local community and is delighted to be providing financial contributions to the nearby country park, including a Biodiversity Net Gain contribution of £249,317, play area and trim trail equipment fund of £212,033, open space contribution of £140,000 and £7,000 towards a travel plan, ensuring public transport infrastructure is supported.

Gleeson will also engage with the community as part of its Community Matters programme, which sees the housebuilder collaborate with local schools, sports teams, charities, and businesses, supporting local people.
