Commonwealth_ Housebuilder Honey has been granted planning permission for a £45 million development in Witham St. Hughs, Lincolnshire, where it will build 170 new homes as part of an exciting new community project. The development, named Nova, will be located off Warren Lane and is set to offer a mix of two-, three-, and four-bedroom homes designed to meet the strong demand for high-quality housing in the local area. With planning approval in place, Honey is poised to begin construction in April 2025, with the first residents expected to move into their new homes by November of this year. The development, which will showcase a variety of 17 different house types, is anticipated to become a significant addition to the area, offering much-needed housing for families, professionals, and first-time buyers alike.
A Commitment to Quality and Sustainability
Nova will feature a wide range of properties designed to appeal to a diverse group of buyers. Mark Mitchell, CEO of Honey, emphasized the company’s commitment to delivering high-specification homes that cater to the needs and desires of the local population. “Our range of new homes being delivered at Nova will meet the strong demand there is for high-specification homes among buyers in the local area,” Mitchell said.
Each home at Nova has been thoughtfully designed to combine style, substance, and sustainability, offering prospective buyers homes that are not only visually appealing but also energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. Honey has worked closely with architects and designers to ensure that the properties meet the highest standards of quality and sustainability while remaining affordable within the local housing market.
The development will feature various different layouts and sizes, allowing prospective homeowners to choose the property that best suits their needs. From spacious family homes to more compact, easy-to-maintain dwellings, Nova will offer something for everyone. The range of homes will include contemporary designs that maximize living space while minimizing energy consumption, making it both comfortable and cost-effective to live in.
Affordable Housing Provision
As part of the development, 28 of the 170 homes will be allocated as affordable housing. This commitment to providing affordable options is in line with Honey’s dedication to ensuring that all segments of the local community have access to high-quality homes. The affordable homes will be available for rent or purchase at reduced rates, giving local families and individuals the opportunity to live in a desirable location without being priced out of the market.
The inclusion of affordable housing in the Nova development reflects Honey’s understanding of the challenges faced by many in the area when it comes to finding suitable housing options. By offering a mix of market-rate and affordable homes, the development will contribute to the wider community, helping to create a balanced and inclusive neighborhood where people from all walks of life can thrive.
A Boost to the Local Economy
The Nova development is set to bring significant benefits to the local economy. The construction phase will create numerous jobs, providing employment opportunities for local tradespeople, contractors, and construction workers. Additionally, the influx of new residents will help stimulate the local economy by increasing demand for goods and services in Witham St. Hughs and the surrounding areas. The new homes are also expected to attract a range of businesses and service providers to the area, further contributing to the economic growth of the region. As more people move into the community, the demand for local amenities such as schools, shops, and healthcare services will increase, creating opportunities for businesses to expand and thrive.
Looking Ahead: A New Community
With construction set to begin shortly, Honey is excited to bring this new community to life. “Having now secured planning permission, we look forward to works starting at the site and launching the first homes for sale at this new community we are delivering,” said Mark Mitchell. The development of Nova marks an important milestone for Honey, as it continues to expand its portfolio of high-quality homes across the region.
For the residents of Witham St. Hughs, the Nova development promises to bring a fresh, modern living environment, with new homes that are thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of today’s homeowners. With a strong emphasis on quality, sustainability, and affordability, Nova is set to become a highly sought-after community for those looking to settle in one of Lincolnshire’s most desirable locations. As work begins on the site in April, Honey is confident that Nova will become a cornerstone of the local housing market, offering homes that are unmatched at their price point and providing a bright future for the residents of Witham St. Hughs.
