National home builder, Bellway Homes says its new development in Beverley will create a number of new jobs in the area.
On an 11-hectare site off Long Lane, Bishops Gate will be built on an 11-hectare site next month, with sales of 300 homes beginning by the end of the year.
Paul Thornton, Bellway Yorkshire’s divisional planning manager, said:
“New housing developments bring significant economic benefits to local communities, a fact that is quite often overlooked.”
“Bishops Gate will create in the region of 60 new jobs during the construction phase, and when sales commence and people start moving in they will bring new money into the area and spend it locally, which will provide a boost for local businesses.”
“On top of that, there’ll also be significant infrastructure and leisure improvements made as a result of the substantial Section 106 contributions that we as a housebuilder make to the Local Authority during our time on site.”
A total of £3.5 million is being invested by Bellway, which includes £1.3 million for education, £228k for building a footbridge over the Hull to Scarborough rail line, £400k for road improvements off-site, and £1.4million for recreation.
Among the many things, Bellway will build in the area is a master plan that includes new primary school places either within the extension of Keldmarsh primary school or as part of a later phase of the site development.
Two spine roads will be constructed between Minster Way and Woodmansey Mile and will include new cycle and pedestrian routes, new leisure facilities, and new leisure facilities.
Bellway Homes Say They Are Creating Communities
“When planning to build anywhere our aim isn’t simply to build houses,” added Bellway Yorkshire’s sales director, Melanie Smith. “We’re here to create homes and communities that people will love in an environment they’ll be proud to call home.”
“The plans for Bishops Gate certainly demonstrate this aim, and I look forward to seeing this new addition to Beverley growing into a much-loved part of the local community as families move in and breathe life into it.”
From first-time buyers to growing families to downsizers, Bellway’s Bishops Gate will appeal to buyers of all walks and stages of life. Homes in this development feature a variety of designs and include two-, three-, and four-bedroom options.
