Richborough is promoting a 4.12 hectare site for residential development at the southern edge of Aston on Trent. Proposals include affordable dwellings, public open space and new planting. A planning application was submitted in June 2016 and subsequently refused in October 2016. Richborough continue to monitor the delivery of housing across the District.
Harrogate – Bilton Triangle
Richborough control circa 61 acres of land in and around the Bilton Triangle, Harrogate, Yorkshire.
The site is bound by residential dwellings to the north-west, agricultural fields to the east and the railway line to the south. The site is sustainably located and within walking distance to a range of facilities that would comply with the “20-minute neighbourhood” concept.
The site will be promoted for residential development in the next Harrogate Local Plan review.
Lighthorne Road, Kineton
Richborough is promoting an 8.94-acre site off Lighthorne Road in Kineton, Stratford-upon-Avon.
We submitted a design-led planning application, which proposes:
- Up to 70 new homes, of which 35% will be affordable, responding to local housing need.
- Public open space, children’s play areas and biodiversity enhancements
The site is situated in a sustainable location, with access to local facilities both within Kineton and wider connections through the existing public transport network.
We secured a Resolution To Grant (RTG) planning permission at commitee.
Great Bowden
22 acre site in the sought-after village of Great Bowden
In 2016 we secured planning permission from Harborough District Council for 50 homes, including 16 affordable, and the creation of a 22 acre country park, play areas and community allotments.
The village lies within a Conservation Area, so we undertook extensive consultation with local residents and key stakeholders to ensure that our proposals were in keeping with the area, whilst also meeting the wider housing demands of the region.
This was was one of the first schemes we supported with outline design coding, which ensured the approved masterplan and design principles were taken through to detailed design and the character of new homes complemented the local vernacular of Great Bowden.
In 2017, we sold the site to development partner Mulberry Developments Ltd. After securing detailed planning permission, they delivered the Hursley Park development which quickly sold out.
Mickleover
Richborough promoted a 34 acre site on land to the West of Mickleover in the administrative area of South Derbyshire District Council.
A planning application for a sustainable development of 252 homes was submitted on 19 August 2015, and in April 2016 it was approved at committee.
Following a successful marketing exercise in 2016, the site was sold to Bloor Homes Ltd. A reserved matters application was submitted in May 2017.
Watery Lane, Codsall
Richborough promoted a 19-acre site off Watery Lane in the village of Codsall. An allocation was secured for circa 180 homes in South Staffordshire District Council’s Local Plan. Outline planning permission was secured, and the site was sold to Taylor Wimpey Homes.
Dickens Heath
Richborough promoted a 91-acre site to the west of Dickens Heath, Solihull. The site was a proposed allocation in the Solihull District Local Plan and we submitted an outline planning application for 447 homes after the Local Plan was submitted for examination. In 2024 the Local Plan was subsequently found unsound and withdrawn.
Newbold on Stour
The Spencer Family and Richborough proposed a sustainable housing development of up to 52 high quality homes in Newbold-on-Stour in Stratford-Upon-Avon.
A great deal of thought and care was given to the design of the development to reflect the local character of Newbold-on-Stour and retain natural features such as the woodland, hedgerows and additional trees. The aim was to provide additional housing and much needed affordable homes into the area, as well as provide a dedicated play area for the children and a car park for St David’s Church.
We held a public exhibition on Thursday 16th October 2014 at Newbold Village Hall.
The outline planning application was submitted in November 2014 and approved on 8th April 2015.
The site was sold to Lioncourt Homes February 2017.
Uttoxeter Road, Stone
Richborough is promoting this 11.5 acre site off Uttoxeter Road in Stone for high quality residential development, and a planning application has been submitted.
Our design-led vision for the site proposes up to 95 new homes.
Barby Road, Kilsby
Richborough is promoting a parcel of land off Barby Road in Kilsby, West Northamptonshire. An outline planning application was approved in December 2024 but has returned to West Northamptonshire Council to clarify outstanding s106 issues.
Our proposals cover 41 dwellings with a vehicular access taken from Barby Road with landscaping as shown on the attached masterplan.
