To provide a diverse mix of new homes that offer choice, accessibility, and sustainability, helping people at different life stages — from first-time buyers to growing families and older residents — to stay within the community they know and love.

What’s Proposed

• Affordable housing  to support local needs and community diversity

• Open Market houses  

• High-quality design that complements the character of Appleton Cross and the wider area

• Energy-efficient construction, with a focus on sustainability and lower running costs

• Attractive, landscaped spaces creating a pleasant, walkable environment

The new homes are being planned to:

• Integrate seamlessly with the surrounding community and landscape

• Encourage active travel and easy access to nearby amenities

• Promote social interaction through shared green spaces and community areas

• Provide safe, accessible environments for all age groups and abilities

‍

Supporting Local Growth

The new housing will play an important role in meeting the housing requirements in the local area. It will also increase footfall for local shops and retail services and support the successful delivery of key infrastructure, such as the new medical centre and community facilities.  

We are committed to delivering well-designed, sustainable homes that reflect the character of Appleton Cross and provide for the needs of both existing and future residents. Together, these new homes will help create a vibrant, balanced community — one that supports local life, reduces the need to travel, and ensures Appleton Cross continues to thrive for generations to come.
