Wates has won the \u00a375m contract to deliver the 381-home first phase of a new community in Hampshire.<\/p>\n

The contractor has already broken ground at the 13.8ha Lower Acre site, with its work expected to complete by 2027.<\/p>\n

The scheme is the first of nine phases of development on the 130ha One Horton Heath site, which will deliver a total of 2,500 homes, largely on agricultural land situated 7km north west of Eastleigh and 9.5km north of Southampton.<\/p>\n

Wates was appointed via Homes England\u2019s Dynamic Purchasing System, on which it has been a partner<\/a> since it was launched in 2021.<\/p>\n

Lower Acre will see public open space, hard and soft landscape works, internal roads, footway\/cycleways, associated parking spaces, substation, SuDS and associated infrastructure.<\/p>\n

It will deliver homes of mixed tenure, with 35 per cent being delivered as affordable housing.<\/p>\n

The scheme consists of flats and houses between two and four storeys high, constructed in seven sections<\/p>\n

Eastleigh Borough Council granted permission for the first phase in November 2021.<\/p>\n

The authority is both landowner and developer, and homes will be sold or let through the authority\u2019s housing company Eastbrooke Homes.<\/p>\n

In November, Wates was appointed by private developer Impec<\/a> to the Gresham development in Middlesbrough.<\/p>\n

On that scheme it will build 230 homes for rent and provide residences for more than 450 students in the first phase of the brownfield scheme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
