Bruntwood proposes 300 Booths Park homes
The addition of homes at the Knutsford office complex will diversify the asset’s offer and help Cheshire East meet its housing targets.
Bruntwood has unveiled plans to build 300 homes on land within the 220-acre Booths Park. The properties – 30% of which will be affordable – will be built on land between the office complex and the existing residential neighbourhood to the north.
Chris Roberts, chief development officer at Bruntwood, said: “Our commitment to Booths Park’s future is built on a long-term partnership with the local community. As part of this ongoing collaboration, we are excited to engage with residents again to help shape the proposals for the neighbourhood that will soon be submitted for planning approval to Cheshire East Council.
“It’s no secret that there’s a real need for great housing in the area, but just more houses aren’t going to solve the challenges the area is facing. Through a diverse housing offering and improved access to the historic park for our communities, our plans will ensure that residents, local businesses and the Knutsford economy all benefit from the Park’s longstanding value.”
The homes will be offered on a range of tenures aimed at everyone “from young professionals to downsizers”, according to Bruntwood.
As well as hundreds of homes, the scheme will enhance public access to the historic parkland through the creation of new active travel routes.
Bruntwood has today launched a consultation on the proposals ahead of the submission of a planning application to Cheshire East Council. Calderpeel Architects is leading on design.
