Countryside partners with affordable providers in Maghull
The housebuilder will deliver a total of 98 homes for Livv Housing and Start Living at its 841-home Eastbrook Village site.
Countryside Partnerships, which purchased the 35-acre site last April, will build 45 affordable houses for Livv and a further 53 for Start Living on the plot off Poverty Lane.
The land forms part of a wider, 68-acre project between Countryside and Persimmon, which was granted planning permission for up to 841 homes and a later-living housing scheme after an appeal.
Of these 841 homes, Countryside will deliver 408, featuring 133 affordable houses, as well as 53 available for private rent and 222 for open market sale.
Ian Hilliker, managing director of Countryside Partnerships Merseyside & Cheshire West, said: “By working with Livv and Start Living we can make sure there is a high-quality, mixed-tenure housing offer at Eastbrook Village, giving people a range of affordable and rental housing choices.
“At the same time, we can utilise the strengths of our group to provide a significant number of open market homes, which will be for sale with one of our housebuilding brands.”
Howard Roberts, executive director of finance, risk, and performance at Livv Housing Group, added: “We’re proud to have partnered with Countryside Partnerships on the Eastbrook Village development.
“We know that the current housing market is tough, which is why the provision of more affordable housing is so important.”
The project team includes planning consultant White Peak Planning, landscape architect Trevor Bridge Associates, and transport consultant WYG Transport.

As Maghull grows the empty train seats get less and less by the time they reach us.
Come on Merseyrail give us some six carriages same as Southport line.

Come on @Manny, you know Merseyrail can’t multitask, they are still trying to work out how to operate the new trains, so wouldn’t have noticed Maghull trains are overcrowded. Meanwhile try and get an update out of them as to what progress is being made on the promised Baltic station, you’d get better communication from outer space.
