Housebuilder seals deal for development extension

A housebuilder has expanded its estate with a land deal.

Newett Homes has bought a 1.5-acre plot in Harrogate.

Officials say the parcel will extend The Pastures development with a further nine homes.

They add the scheme will feature three, four and five-bed properties, which will include solar panels and electric vehicle charging points.

Work is earmarked for completion by May next year, with Newett Homes set to contribute £65,000 towards community and local infrastructure projects.

Will Newett, chief executive at the builder, which is headquartered at Thorp Arch, near Wetherby, said: “This gives us the opportunity to deliver another collection of homes that reflects the expectations of today’s buyers.

“As a Yorkshire-based housebuilder, there is always a real sense of pride in delivering new communities within our heartland.”

Approval for the estate’s extension comes after Newett Homes broke ground on the £11 million, 27-home Cedar Grove estate in Birchencliffe, on the outskirts of Huddersfield.
