SP2754 : Sheltered housing construction
taken 5 years ago, near to Wellesbourne, Warwickshire, Great Britain
View west from the service road at the back of the houses on Copeland Avenue.
A large new housing development of approximately 175 homes is being built to the east of the A429 on the southern outskirts of Wellesbourne village.
It has been named Ettington Park, although there is some local feeling that it should have been called Redlands Park after the nursery that originally occupied the site. The original Ettington Park is a country house turned hotel not far away from here. Link
The lead developer is Charles Church (Persimmon). LinkLink
A quantity of "Independent Living Extra Care Housing for older people" is being built by Orbit Homes as an integral part of the development. Link
The first stage of the development started on 22nd. July 2013, with the construction of a Section 278 roundabout (one funded by the developers), which was planned to take 14 weeks to construct. The contractor is McVeigh Construction working on behalf of Warwickshire County Council. Link
The work building the new houses appeared to go quite quickly and a number were occupied by November / December 2014, in time for Xmas.
