The detailed house plan of 455 Spital Lane has been revealed by Persimmon Homes

Details for a new development of 455 homes on land in Bedworth have been revealed. Persimmon Homes is behind the new property on Hospital Lane.

The plan includes 455 homes, but there will also be a “district centre” for over-55s. However, it is set to be provided by another housing developer.

The huge plot of land, known as HSG5, was included in Nuneaton and Bedworth District Council’s first ‘District Plan’ as a designated area for homes. At the time, campaigners fought to keep it out of the plan – but their pleas fell on deaf ears.

Initial planning permission has been granted for the entire site. But Persimmon Homes has now submitted what is known as a reserved matters application detailing the layout, scale, layout and layout of the homes as well as public open space.

There are also outline proposals for infrastructure on the estate. The application explains that there would be play areas and allotments as well as sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) in the north-east and south-west corner of the large site.

Pedestrian paths would connect through the open space areas, forming part of a circular walk around the edge of the site. There is also land set aside for a wildlife area in the northern section of the site, close to Newdigate Primary School and Nursery.

There would be a central road running through the site with developments served by a number of secondary roads and private roads. The application explains that a wide range of house types are on offer, including one-bed flats and townhouses and a range of two-, three- and four-bed semi-detached and detached houses.

“The development proposal provides the opportunity to achieve the residential element of the outline planning permission,” it states. “It provides a comprehensive design solution for the residential element of the site and associated areas of public open space, delivering a high quality residential scheme.”

All proposals can be viewed on the council’s website under the planning applications section by searching for reference 040286. Planning officers at the City Hall are now reviewing the reserved matter application and as part of this a public consultation is taking place.

The deadline for any comments is June 26. The target date for a decision on the application is August 12.
