A new development of over 70 homes in Barton has led to more than £750,000 being invested in the neighbourhood.

Anwyl Homes Lancashire recently sold the final home at its Lawrence Gardens development off Garstang Road.

The third site in the Preston area acquired by Anwyl, it’s now home to dozens of happy homeowners.

Managing director of Anwyl Homes Lancashire John Grime said: "Work at Lawrence Gardens started in summer 2020 with strict social distancing protocols due to the pandemic. The team navigated those challenges and we were able to complete construction on schedule and recently welcomed the final homeowner to the new neighbourhood.


"On average we had around 30 people working on site daily to construct 50 private sale four-bedroom detached homes and 22 affordable properties, which provided a mix of shared ownership and rented homes. We’ve had lots of positive feedback from residents including numerous five-star reviews on Trustpilot. We’ve even had homeowners here recommend Anwyl to family and friends who’ve moved into homes on our other developments."

Alongside building new homes, Anwyl made section 106 contributions to help support the growth of the local community totalling more than £750,000.

Funding agreed during the planning process was allocated towards primary and secondary education, highways improvements, local footpath improvements and travel plan provision. New junction works to improve safety and the speed of traffic approaching along Garstang Road were also funded.
