The Chiltern division of Linden Homes has obtained planning consent for a record number of new, mixed residential schemes over the summer on brownfield sites throughout the region.

Planning has been granted on a total of six brownfield sites in outer London boroughs, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire.

Recent proposals from the Government have been unveiled to accelerate the building of homes for families and first-time buyers with a £500m boost to encourage local councils to identify necessary housing and the land for it to be built on - with particular focus on brownfield land. Site’s awarded planning for Linden’s Chiltern division are Isleworth, Bushey, Winnersh, Loudwater and Slough.

Rob Wyke, land director for Chiltern, said: “Demand for new homes is high. New developments in areas such as Slough which boasts one of the fastest growing populations in the UK and a thriving business centre are getting snapped up off-plan. With direct links to London and train journeys into Paddington under 20 minutes its popularity looks set to continue.
“Our planned developments in the Chiltern area represent an important step towards developing brownfield sites to meet the huge demand for both private and affordable housing in the South East.”
