Housebuilder to create over 1,650 new homes with new Essex and London proposals

Developer Inland Homes has announced it has submitted plans for two brownfield sites in Essex as well as securing three new opportunities in East London.

The firm has made a planning application on the site of the Former Telephone Exchange and Masonic Centre in Staines in Essex. The scheme, designed by Assael Architecture, will provide 206 residential units across two buildings of 13 and 15 storeys.

Inland Homes has also submitted a hybrid application for up to 700 new homes including a detailed first phase of 74 units on a 54-acre brownfield site in Basildon, to be known as Gardiners Park Village.

In addition, the company has secured three new brownfield opportunities in Barking and Dagenham in East London which, if approved, will provide over 800 new homes. Planning applications for these sites will be submitted during the first half of 2021.

Stephen Wicks, chief executive of Inland Homes, commented: “Our land and planning teams have been extremely active during this year to bring forward these significant brownfield sites for development of over 1,650 homes.

“We welcome the Government’s support for the industry during these difficult times. Inland are responding to the UK’s urgent demand for new homes, supporting efforts to increase affordable housing and create wider economic activity.

Working with build to rent funds, housing associations as well as providing homes for sale at the affordable end of the market, we have strong demand for our well-located, attractively designed developments.“
