Work on 200 homes to start
Work is set to begin on a 200-home development in a Staffordshire village before the end of the year.
Staffordshire-based developer Walton Homes has bought a 9.78-hectare plot off Tuppenhurst Lane, Handsacre.
The Acresford Park site will be among the largest developments that the business has ever built.
Walton Homes has a long history of having built within the area, though it has been four years since it last sited a development in the village.
Amy Summerton, director of the business, said: “In the past, we’ve built numerous sites totalling 344 homes in Handsacre and Armitage and we’ve always had a very enthusiastic response from buyers.
“We’ve always sold well there thanks to the excellent amenities offered in both villages, along with their semi-rural setting, which also benefits from good access links.
“As Acresford Park will comprise of 200 properties, we anticipate the various phases of build at the site to take around five years, with details of the first phase, which will start next year, being released soon.”
