South: Inland Homes to build 1,200 homes across the region

Lily’s Walk is a prime 3.5 acre site in the centre of High Wycombe, directly opposite Eden Shopping Centre, the largest shopping centre in the region, and close to the rail station which provides access to London Marylebone within 40 minutes.

The site was the former National Grid gasworks and Inland Homes will be undertaking extensive remediation and specialist environmental works to bring the site to residential standard. The development will comprise 96 two-bed, 137 one-bed and six studio apartments, as well as 15,845 sq ft of commercial space, associated car parking facilities and additional public realm improvements.

Inland Homes has also received resolutions to grant planning permission across four further sites. In Southampton, Inland Homes plans to develop 457 residential units and 64,000 sq ft of commercial space  on a waterside brownfield regeneration site in a joint venture with Southampton City Council.

The scheme is the company's first major joint venture with a local authority and has a GDV of approximately £100m.

The other three sites are in Aylesbury, Farnborough and Chesham where it has received resolution to grant planning to build 400, 80, and 55 homes respectively. 

Paul Brett, land director at Inland Homes, said: “Altogether, these permissions represent a significant step forward for Inland Homes and mean that we now have a pipeline of 2,340 permitted plots. Securing these permissions is testament to our specialist expertise and the thorough work we undertake in bringing complex sites to a residential standard. Our understanding of the planning system and the strong relationships we have cultivated with local authorities in the region means we are ideally placed to further add to our development pipeline.

“Against the backdrop of the recent findings and recommendations published in the Government’s housing White Paper, we are now on the way to providing well over 2,300 high quality and much needed homes in the South and South East.”
