Redrow plans for new homes in Holsworthy

A former showground has been acquired by an award-winning housebuilder hoping to create a range of high quality new homes and leisure facilities at the site.

Situated off Trewyn Road in the market town of Holsworthy, Redrow Homes has bought the site, which has previously been earmarked for redevelopment and already has outline planning permission for housing and recreational facilities.

A total of 141 homes from Redrow’s New Heritage Collection are proposed for the 15 acre site alongside a new football pitch, changing rooms and a skate park.

Redrow will also be improving access to the existing cricket and bowls clubs as well as providing car park on the land for both clubs.

In addition, and as part of the planning agreement, the housebuilder will be carrying out improvements to Trewyn Road and also contributing an extra £100,000 towards local amenities, including upgrades to Stanhope Park.

Lee Hawker, land director for Redrow Homes (South West), said: “We are delighted to have acquired this site and look forward to providing a range of two, three and four-bedroom homes to suit buyers on every stage of the property ladder.

“Selected from our popular New Heritage Collection, they will combine traditional looking exteriors with an ‘Arts & Crafts’ influence with family friendly layouts and bright, modern interiors.

“The leisure facilities will be a fantastic addition to the development, providing activities for local people and new residents. We are hoping to start work on site early next year, subject to reserved matters planning consent.”

The new development is well placed for local conveniences, including a range of schools, shops and health facilities as well as Holsworthy’s popular market.

The reserved matters planning application is due to be submitted to Torridge District Council Planning Department in September.
