A development of 71 new homes in Warton has been given the green light by North Warwickshire Borough Council, with construction set to start in the spring.
The scheme is being delivered by Develop Warwickshire, a joint venture between Warwickshire Property and Development Group (WPDG); Warwickshire County Council (WCC); and developer Countryside Partnerships.
Known as Brookmill Meadows, the development will comprise a mix of houses and bungalows.
The scheme has secured reserved matters consent from North Warwickshire Borough Council.
Outline planning consent was granted for the site in June 2019, with a reserved matters application made by WPDG in May 2022.
Brookmill Meadows will include 40% affordable housing, which will be an equal split of shared ownership and affordable rent.
The homes will be energy-efficient and sustainable, with each home being built using modern methods of construction (MMC), and featuring an air-source heat pump and electric-vehicle charging point.
There will be a proportion of solar panels installed for the development.
The scheme will also include associated open space within the proposed development, as well as sustainable urban drainage.
