Lovell to Deliver Two East Midlands Schemes

Lovell Partnerships is pleased to announce that it has been granted planning permission for two significant schemes on key East Midlands based urban extensions as it continues rapid growth in the area.

The two developments will offer plots for the open market as well as affordable housing, and are located in Branston Locks, Burton-Upon-Trent and Priors Hall Park on the outskirts of Corby in North Northamptonshire.

Lovell’s Branston Locks scheme will see 190 properties built and will form part of the wider Branston Locks regeneration programme, which will see the transformation of 400 acres of land to the south west of Burton-Upon-Trent and the construction of 2,500 new houses.

Priors Hall urban extension, just outside Corby, gained planning consent for 75 new homes, consisting of open market and shared ownership properties. In total, Priors Hall will see just under 3,000 homes built along with 25.5 acres for recreation, footpaths and cycle networks, nine acres of employment space as well as two schools and two retail areas.

Chris Timmins, Area Director East Midlands at Lovell Partnerships, said: “We’re delighted that planning permission has been granted for both Branston Locks and Priors Hall Park, meaning that two sustainable communities are on the horizon in areas where affordable, high-quality housing is in high demand.

“Branston Locks is a key regeneration site in East Staffordshire, and we’re thrilled to be playing our part on one of the UK’s first large urban extensions as well as a second substantial urban extension in Priors Hall Park, Corby, reflecting our status as a major partnerships developer.

“Increasing our footprint in the East Midlands is a big focus as our reputation and achievements in the West Midlands continue to go from strength-to-strength through the delivery of high-quality mixed tenure developments, land-led contracting and design and build contracting.”

Lovell Partnerships has already secured a number of opportunities in the East Midlands, with a pipeline of over 1000 units since the inception of the targeted growth in the region in 2020 spearheaded by Chris Timmins.
