Redrow has acquired a 93-acre site in Stevenage, Hertfordshire which has outline consent for 618 homes.

The site, which lies to the east of Stevenage off Gresley Way, will see a mix of family homes and apartments created, catering to local housing need, with 40% of the new homes being affordable.

Alongside new homes and community facilities including a primary school and preschool, care home, assisted living homes and a local retail and community centre, the development will unlock improvements to local highways infrastructure, as well as new on and off-site pedestrian and cycle routes, and a central bus-only route.

Tom Hughes, Head of Land at Redrow Eastern, said, “This latest acquisition perfectly reflects our strategy to deliver family homes in well-connected areas, meeting the strong demand for spacious characterful homes with easy access to green spaces. Our proposed scheme will showcase Redrow’s placemaking credentials by creating a sustainable new community, with a mix of housing and on-site amenities”

Redrow is working towards submission of a detailed planning application to East Herts District Council for the first phase of development in early Autumn 2021.
