Family-owned housebuilder, Bloor Homes, is preparing a reserved matters planning application for Phase 2 of its Atherstone Development which is currently being delivered to the north of the market town.
The site for the proposed development forms part of a larger area allocated for residential development in the North Warwickshire Local Plan 2021 (Policy H1) which sets out where new homes should be built to meet housing need in the Borough. The wider site also benefits from outline planning consent establishing the principles of development which was granted in August 2022 following the signing of the Section 106 agreement.
Our emerging plans
We are preparing a reserved matters planning application, informed by the existing outline planning consent for the site, which will include:
- 250 high-quality family homes.
- 40% of new homes would be affordable housing, providing opportunities for key workers and people on low incomes to secure a home of their own in Atherstone.
- The development will be laid out in four distinct character areas or neighbourhoods, creating a sense of place.
- Existing landscape features including perimeter hedgerows and trees framing the Innage Brook corridor through the site will be retained.
- Existing planting and landscape features will be enhanced with additional planting and landscaping, including an extensive area of green public open space on the northern part of the site to provide a buffer with the countryside beyond and a green corridor following the Innage Brook to link to further public open space within the new neighbourhood.
- Homes will be built to the very latest standards of sustainability, with measures such as EV charging infrastructure, solar panels, and high levels of energy efficiency.
- Sustainable Urban Drainage will provide new wetland habitat within the site, further enhancing biodiversity.
