Richborough controlled 58.5 acres of land across two sites to the west of Bennetts Road in Keresley, around 4.5 miles north of Coventry city centre.
Both sites form part of the Keresley Village Sustainable Urban Extension, a residential led allocation within the adopted Coventry City Local Plan that will include the delivery of a new primary school and local centre.
In March 2022, following extensive consultation, we submitted two outline planning applications to deliver up to 550 new homes, including 25 per cent affordable housing.
Our first planning application seeks outline approval for up to 260 new homes and the creation of vehicular access to Bennetts Road. Our second application seeks consent for 290 new homes and vehicular access to Bennetts Road and Fivefield Road.
Both sites will deliver a mixture of house types, pedestrian/cycle accesses, highway improvements, parking, landscaping, drainage features, open space and play areas.
In March 2023 Richborough achieved outline planning consent for both planning applications and in September 2023 we secured Countryside Partnerships as development partner for land we promoted in Keresley, Coventry.
