Anwyl Homes has acquired a parcel of land at Omega, a mixed-use development on the 600-acre site of the former RAF Burtonwood air base north-west of Warrington.
Anwyl plans to submit a reserved matters application to Warrington Borough Council for 153 homes on 12.6-acre plot, which already benefits from outline planning permission.
The wider masterplan is being delivered by Omega Warrington, a subsidiary of Miller Developments, in partnership with Homes England. Since construction started in 2012, the developer has completed about 7m sq ft of logistics and manufacturing space, £70m of infrastructure and has sold six residential sites to housebuilders, which will deliver around 1,150 homes.
John Grime, managing director of Anwyl Homes Lancashire, said: “The Omega development has created a vibrant new neighbourhood in west Warrington. It has proven to be a very popular location for families and commuters, with easy access to motorway and transport services. We’ve been keen to be a part of the new neighbourhood and are pleased to have acquired one of the last remaining parcels of land here. We plan to build 153 homes – 115 private sale properties and 38 affordable homes to cater for local need.
“A two-form entry primary school, 35-acre country park and a commercial hub are all complete and operational as part of the wider masterplan, providing excellent amenities for residents.”
In a nod to the area’s history, the Anwyl development will be marketed under the name Eagles Green.
