Yorkshire house builder plans £49m regeneration development

Avant Homes Yorkshire is set to deliver a further 173 homes in Waverley with a £49m second phase development after being granted planning permission as part of the area’s regeneration scheme.

Sorby Park will comprise a mix of two, three and four-bedroom homes and feature 20 of Avant Homes’ design-led house types. Of the 173 homes, more than 17 per cent have been designated to affordable housing.

The wider Waverley scheme is Yorkshire’s largest brownfield mixed-use development. Once complete, the 740-acre site will comprise 3,890 homes, shops, restaurants, a primary school, and leisure and community facilities including parks and 310-acres of green open space.

Work is set to start on site this winter, with the overall build programme estimate to take approximately four years. The first homes should be ready for occupation in September.

Alastair Hart, managing director, Avant Homes Yorkshire, said: “We’ve had sustained success at the Waverley regeneration scheme over the past five years by delivering more than 400 homes across three developments.

“Demand for new build housing in the area remains high and we look forward to continuing to contribute to the regeneration of this brownfield site with our new phase of Sorby Park.”

The Wakefield-based business is part of the Avant Homes Group, one of the leading private developers of residential property in the UK.
