Keepmoat Homes have announced that plans to redevelop Cheddar brownfield site into a new housing development have been given the go-ahead, following the purchase of land at Steart Farm
The Steart Farm housing development has recently been granted planning permission and will look to bring 58 new homes to the Somerset area, 30% of which will be affordable housing.
Keepmoat Homes will transform the 5.8-acre brownfield site into a housing community which will feature a local play area, a wildlife zone and a public open space.
The land is currently being used to house former farm buildings and agricultural land.
Well located to local transport links, Cheddar lies 10 miles south-east of J21 of the M5 motorway and 11 miles south of Bristol Airport via the A371 and A38.
‘A high-quality housing development with a strong sense of community’
Charlotte Goode, regional managing director at Keepmoat Homes said: “Keepmoat Homes is incredibly pleased to have purchased land to transform Steart Farm into a high-quality housing development with a strong sense of community, fitting for the village of Cheddar.
“We are constantly striving to bring excellent houses to brilliant locations and know that the Steart Farm development will do just that.
“As a leading UK home builder, we’re continually looking to expand our development range, helping to bring new purchase opportunities to buyers across the region, and welcome news regarding land available for purchase in the West Midland and Southwest area.”
A Reserved Matters planning application will be submitted later this year with a start on site planned for late 2022 with homes available mid-2023.
