The Hill Group Acquires Land In Reydon
Housebuilder The Hill Group has acquired 3.25 hectares of land in the East Suffolk village of Reydon to deliver a new residential development.
The development will include 55 energy-efficient homes, including 35% affordable housing. Situated to the south of Halesworth Road, the acquisition represents a rare opportunity to provide new housing close to the highly desirable coastal town of Southwold, which regularly features as one of the UK's best seaside resorts.
The development will feature 36 two, three, four, and five-bedroom houses available for private sale, as well as an affordable provision comprising eight apartments and 11 two and three-bedroom houses. Among the affordable homes, six will be made available via Shared Ownership.
The creation of new sports facilities at nearby Saint Felix School, a leading independent co-educational day and boarding school, is included as part of the development plan. The new amenities will include sports pitches and changing rooms, which will be made available for use by the local community.
The project will establish greater connectivity with the local area through a new thoroughfare, improved footpaths, and new cycle paths. A new pedestrian crossing will also be added for safer access to the development, along with the enhancement of existing roadside pavement. The site has a significant area of mature woodland, which will be made accessible to the public through the introduction of new nature trails and an open play area, in addition to a separate play area for younger children.
Andy Hill OBE, Group Chief Executive at The Hill Group, commented: "The acquisition of this well-situated land near Southwold will facilitate the delivery of much-needed new homes in an area that greatly needs it, as well as bringing a range of additional benefits to the wider community. Our plans for the development include the enhancement of green spaces, improved footpaths, and new cycle paths for active travel. This demonstrates our commitment to creating sustainable homes of the highest quality in a way that preserves and enhances the natural environment of the local area."
