Detailed planning consent has been granted to Northern Trust and Jones Homes for the construction of a new village hall, 16 new market homes and 4 new affordable homes in Weeton.
The plans form part of a partnership scheme with the Village Hall Charity, and includes the replacement of the existing village hall, which dates back from the First World War. The new facility funded entirely by Northern Trust will allow for a wider range of services to be offered from a modern building fit for future generations.
A spokesperson for Northern Trust commented “We are delighted that Jones Homes has acquired the land and will be developing the new market homes. As a longstanding landowner on the Fylde Coast, Northern Trust is pleased to have the opportunity to work with a partner who has a strong reputation for delivering high quality new homes.”
John Roocroft, Regional Director for Jones Homes, adds: “We are delighted to be creating a new housing community in Weeton. There has not been any new housing in the parish for a long time, so it’s an exciting chapter for Jones Homes to be investing in this rural and very sought-after location. Designed to appeal to a variety of homebuyers, from young professional, first time buyers to families looking for a carefully designed new home; the development will comprise a collection of 3 bedroom semi-detached and 4 and 5 bedroom detached properties. Work is expected to start on site in the coming months, with the first properties set for completion later this year.”
With extensive experience in the region, Jones Homes is one of the North West’s leading house builders. Dedicated to quality, conservation and customer care, Jones Homes has an enviable reputation for building homes of character and individuality in desirable locations.
Northern Trust is currently working with the Council to discharge the planning conditions for the new village hall in order to start construction in March.
