Work underway to build 90 new Bellway homes in Croft

Construction crews are on-site in Croft as work to transform a former equestrian site into a housing estate pushes forward.

Developer Bellway received planning permission for the scheme which will see 90 new-builds built on an 8.5-acre site off Deacons Close.

Named Neptune, the estate will feature a mix of two, three and four-bedroom detached and semi-detached homes, including 27 affordable properties.

The former Heathfield Stud site had been used for a number of years as an equestrian centre, stables and stud farm for horses.

Bellway says the ‘aesthetically pleasing’ homes will have a modern internal finish, with private gardens, allocated car parking spaces or garages and electric vehicle charging points.

The development will also provide an element of public open space, green areas, play areas for children and walking and exercise options.

Sales director Grace Yarlett previously said: “Following a number of successful developments in Warrington, we are pleased to bring forward more new homes in the area.

“The site benefits from a great semi-rural location, surrounded by fields and close to open green space.

“Yet it is just five miles from Warrington’s thriving town centre, and within easy reach of the motorway network for venturing around the wider north west area.

“We are excited to bring this development forward and expect a really positive response.”

It is anticipated that the first homes will be released for sale early next year, with the first homes ready for occupancy by autumn 2025.

Within the planning agreement, Bellway will make a series of section 106 contributions totalling around £1.3million towards schools, highways and sports pitches.
