Kier Living acquires land in Driffield for 15-acre residential development

Kier Living has acquired land in Driffield to begin work on phase one of its new 15-acre residential site.

The East Yorkshire market town will house a site that includes 42 family properties offering three, four and five bedroom accommodation.

Kier plans to start building the new homes on Sycamore Park next month, with a view to releasing properties for sale in December/January.

Located on a greenfield site off Scarborough Road, will feature at least eight different design styles across the mixed bedroom property types.

Kier Living has also submitted a planning application for phase two at Sycamore Park, which will offer a further 86 two, three and four bedroom properties including eight ‘affordable’ homes.

David Mackintosh, sales and marketing director at Kier Living Northern, said: “We are delighted to have completed the purchase and progress with phase one at Sycamore Park.

“Driffield is an established and popular residential area that sits in the heart of the Yorkshire Wolds and is steeped in history.

“It maintains the quaint familiarity of a civil parish but is ideally located in a commuter location for the cities of York and Hull, 2017 City of Culture. It is also equidistant to the coastal attractions of Scarborough and Bridlington, both just 20 miles away.

“Schools and amenities are also plentiful and within walking distance, giving the country lifestyle without an isolated compromise.

“We are committed to start development on site next month and hope to release phase one properties for sale before the end of 2017.”

Cushman and Wakefield in Leeds acted as land agent for the site.
