How Weston Homes’ Western Road scheme is expected to look

Brentwood Borough Council has given Weston Homes permission to develop a £19m, 60-home development. 

The scheme on 0.51 acres in Western Road, off Brentwood High Street, will include 39 one- and two-bedroom market sale flats, 11 one bedroom discount-market-sale flats for local people as well as 10 one- and two- bedroom affordable rent apartments.  

Bob Weston, chair and managing director at Weston Homes, said: “Our new apartment scheme on Western Road will provide much needed affordable housing for local people living and working in Brentwood and will also provide market sale homes for first time buyers and young couples who want to live in stylish apartments close to Brentwood high street.”  

He added Weston Homes had a “strong relationship” with Brentwood Council after the housebuilder agreed to redevelop the former Brentwood Police Station in 2018 into a residential development known as 1023 West. 

The Western Road development has been designed by the Essex-based firm’s in-house architecture teams and will be a block with a red brick façade ranging in height from three to five storeys. 

Construction on the site is expected to begin in October this year and the sales launch is planned for Spring 2023. Building should complete in summer 2024. 

This comes after Weston Homes announced at the start of this year it had begun to build its 137,000-q ft modular factory in Essex

The firm last year hired Taylor Wimpey’s London boss Peter Gore to be its new group operations director to oversee a growth push.
