Housing approved for RAF Sealand site

The developer has brought forward proposals for housing at the former Civic Centre alongside the A55 in Colwyn Bay, part of a wider deal with Conwy Council that has already seen the construction of an 100,000 sq ft HQ building.

Macbryde Homes is to start work this week on two North Wales housing developments, bringing more than 100 homes to the Rhuddlan area.

An application from Macbryde Homes for 99 homes in the North Wales village has been approved, with Macbryde itself and Anwyl Homes lined up for delivery.

When Sajid Javid said in 2017 that "the housing market was broken", describing it as "almost impossible for small independent builders to enter the market", he cast light on an issue of vital importance, writes Simon Finlay, head of development at Macbryde Homes.

Acting on behalf of Denbighshire County Council and a private client, Legat Owen has completed the sale of a development site in Rhuddlan to Macbryde Homes at the guide price of £3m. 

North Wales housebuilder Redrow has reported pre-tax profit of £185m and turnover up 9% to £970m in its interim results, the last to be overseen by departing chairman Steve Morgan.

Chorley-based Anwyl Homes Lancashire has added to its management team with the appointment of Andrew Morgan as head of land.

Anwyl Homes has added three senior staff including land director Alex Wigfield, who joins the Flintshire-based company from fellow housebuilder Bellway.
