Anwyl breaks ground on Nantwich scheme

A homebuilder has started work on a new housing development in Nantwich.

Anwyl Homes has begun construction on a 40-home scheme after acquiring land from Muller Property Group.

The development, known as Weaver Forge, forms part of the wider Maylands Park mixed-use site in Stapeley and will include a mix of one-bedroom apartments to four-bedroom detached homes.

As part of the project, Anwyl will invest more than £275,000 into the local area through section 106 contributions, supporting education, healthcare and recreational facilities.

The scheme’s name reflects the town’s heritage, referencing the River Weaver and Nantwich’s industrial past.

Homes will be launched later this month, with the first properties expected to be ready for occupation before the end of the year.

Mathew Tudor-Owen, land director at Anwyl Homes Cheshire and North Wales, said: “We’re pleased to have acquired three acres of land in Nantwich from Muller Property Group, having worked closely with them to navigate through the planning process.

“Together with land we’ve previously acquired from Muller Property Group in Crewe and Sandbach, it will strengthen our development pipeline and reinforce our commitment to delivering high quality homes in well‑connected, popular locations.

“We’re looking forward to delivering new homes that will bring investment and long‑term benefits to the area.

“The housing mix has been planned to ensure we meet the diverse needs of the local community.

“Along with homes for private sale, 30 per cent of the development will be designated as affordable housing.”

Colin Muller, founder and chief executive of Muller Property Group, added: “While there is a clear and pressing need for new homes in Nantwich, securing consent for this site has required considerable time, investment and persistence.

“Throughout the planning process we worked proactively to demonstrate how this development could make a meaningful contribution to the area’s housing supply, including much-needed affordable homes, alongside significant financial contributions towards local services.

“This scheme will not only help address housing demand but also deliver tangible benefits for the wider community through investment in education, healthcare and recreation.

“We are pleased to have brought the site forward to this stage and look forward to seeing high-quality new homes delivered for local people. 

“Positive collaboration and a shared focus on meeting housing need is always the best way to achieve sustainable growth.”
