On behalf of the Diocese of Coventry, Richborough Estates is promoting some 23 acres at ‘Homestead View’, Bilton, Rugby.
Homestead View is the name of the South West Rugby Sustainable Urban Development Extension, which intends to answer the area’s growing housing needs by creating a new community in the area. It will fulfil Rugby Borough Council’s allocation of the site for housing, employment and supporting community and highway infrastructure.
South West Rugby was allocated as part of Rugby Borough Council’s Local Plan 2011 to 2031 (adopted June 2019), to provide around 5,000 homes and 35ha of employment land. The South West Rugby Supplementary Planning Documents (adopted June 2021) provide additional guidance to help shape the delivery of the site.
The Diocese landholding will deliver circa 170 new dwellings, along with part of the new Homestead Link Road and public open space.
