Plans unveiled for 199-home Sandymoor scheme

A housebuilder is pressing ahead with a multi-million-pound residential development in a growing Cheshire community.

Keepmoat has confirmed plans to deliver 199 new homes through a £44.5 million investment at Sandymoor, marking the next phase of development in the area. 

The scheme follows the recent completion of a land sale off Windmill Hill Avenue with Homes England, with work now underway on site.

Set to be known as Meadow Brook, the development will include a mix of one to four-bedroom homes for private sale alongside a number of affordable properties. 

Designed in line with the national Building for Healthy Life framework, Meadow Brook will prioritise sustainability, wellbeing and connectivity, with 71 homes using modern timber frame construction to improve energy efficiency and build quality.

Katie Dean, land and partnerships director at Keepmoat, North West, said: “We’re proud to bring forward this exciting new community at Sandymoor in partnership with Homes England. 

“Meadow Brook will provide a bespoke and wide range of high-quality, energy-efficient homes surrounded by abundant green open spaces and waterside walks.

“The evolution of the site has been designed to meet the highest Building for a Healthy Life principles, which seek to embed quality placemaking and healthier lifestyles bolstering our commitment to well-designed quality homes, excellent design, connectivity and integration with nature. 

“Our proposals have been developed with DK Architects, and Planit-I.E creating a blueprint that puts people and nature at the centre of the design process.”

Simon Herring, development director at Homes England, added: “As the Government’s housing and regeneration agency, our aim is to create high-quality homes in well-designed places, helping to create jobs and drive local economic growth.

“This is an important milestone we have reached with Keepmoat and local partners at Sandymoor, where we are enabling a high quality, landscape-led development of 199 new homes, including 40 affordable homes, unlocked by essential infrastructure as part of the wider masterplan. 

“We look forward to seeing these plans develop into much needed homes in a new, thriving community.”
