Plans for over 300 new homes in Rugby get green-light

Rugby Editorial 11th Jun, 2017 Updated: 11th Jun, 2017   0

PLANS for a new housing development in Rugby have been given the ‘go-ahead’ after councillors voted in favour of the scheme.

Detailed planning permission has been granted to build a total of 230 homes on land off Leicester Road as part of phase two of their Eden Park development.

The Gateway Rugby site as a whole covers 125.3 hectares of land – around the size of 108 football pitches – located to the north of the town.

Eden Park will include a range of houses and apartments from one, two, three, four and five-bedroom homes – 20 of which will be provided as affordable housing.




Paul Degg, regional managing director at Bloor Homes Midlands, said: “We are pleased to have received planning permission from the Rugby Borough Council for the second phase of our Eden Park development and we look forward to starting work on site in July.

“Eden Park provides the best of both worlds for residents wanting to live in a peaceful semi-rural setting and enjoy the amenities of Rugby.


“Our development is ideal for commuters with its perfect location boasting excellent transport links via both rail and road, conveniently positioned with an easy access to the M6, M1 and M45 motorways. In addition, London is only a 50-minute journey away by train and there are also direct routes to Northampton, Leicester and Coventry.

“We are proud to be delivering 116 carefully designed new homes at the development, which will cater for a range of lifestyles, from first time buyers to growing families and downsizers.”

*A development of 88 new homes at Tilia Park, on land off Coventry Road in Cawston, is also about to start.

The Ashberry Homes development will include a range of three, four and five-bedroom homes once complete, and will form part of 250 new homes planned for the site.

Outline planning permission for development of the site was granted by Rugby Borough Council in 2014, and the wider development will generate investment worth over £3million in the form of S106 contributions.

Managing Director for Ashberry Homes, Gary Mills, said said: “There is an array of different homes here, all of which have been designed to be in-keeping with the character of the wider development, and the local area.

* PLANS have been submitted to build five new homes in Stockton High Street.

An existing bungalow would be demolished in order to make way for the proposed four or more bedroomed homes, with garages and multiple parking.

Stratford District Council is set to consider the application next month.
