Move is part of housebuilder’s strategic refocus on key regions
Vistry and Sanctuary have established a joint venture to deliver a 2,204-home scheme in south Worcester.
Located between St Peter’s and Kempsey, the planned mixed-use community will include a combination of open market, social and affordable homes.
The scheme, which is known as Hopfields, has outline planning consent and forms part of Worcester southern urban extension.
Plans include a local centre, primary school, employment space, sports and healthcare facilities, care provision, and a hotel, as well as 20% affordable and social housing.
Many of the homes will be built using timber frames manufactured in-house by Vistry Works.
The Midlands is one of three priority regions identified in Vistry’s strategy set out in September.
“When we set out the findings of our CEO Review in September, we were clear that Vistry would become a more focused business, concentrating on the regions, sites and partnerships where our mixed-tenure model performs best,” said Adam Daniels, chief executive of Vistry.
“Hopfields serves as a strong example of our renewed focus in practice. The Midlands is one of our priority regions, the site already benefits from planning consent, and it is being delivered through the long-term partnership approach on which our model is built
Craig Moule, group chief executive at Sanctuary, added: “Hopfields represents a significant opportunity to create a thriving new community and provide much-needed homes for people across Worcester.”
