Create Homes is pleased to announce that it has received full planning permission for a quality new housing development in Bispham, near Blackpool, Poulton-Le-Fylde and Thornton-Cleveleys.  The new development is situated off Faraday Way, to the west of the seaside town. Create Homes secured the planning permission from Blackpool & Wyre Councils to build 51 new homes, which will provide much needed quality housing opportunities for the area. Work started on site July 2023.

‘The Groves’, Bispham will offer quality 3 & 4 bedroom homes under the new Create Homes  ‘Executive Collection’ brand. With a range of popular Create Homes house types, plus some new designs having been created especially for the development, there will be a wide choice of quality homes for every age and type of family.

Create Homes have carefully considered the layout and aesthetics of the development to fulfil the planning conditions set out by the two councils, and created a scheme which will have an attractive ambience, designed to enhance the locality.

The Council received funding from the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities via its Land Release Fund towards infrastructure costs to help open up the site to meet local housing needs.

Cllr Mark Smith, Cabinet Member for Levelling Up – Place, said: “Creating new, high-quality homes is a key priority for the council, we are delighted that we have been able to release land for this development to go ahead.

“The scheme has received money from the Department of Levelling Up Homes and Communities’ Land Release Fund to enable a new traffic system to be implemented, improving the road access and opening up the land for these 51 new homes to be built.” 

EXCITING HIGH-QUALITY HOUSE DESIGNS

The new 3 & 4 bedroom homes on offer at ‘The Groves,’ Bispham from the new ‘Executive Collection’ will include many of Create Homes’ most popular house types including: ‘The Newsham’, ‘The Sherwood’ and ‘The Whittingham’, plus some new designs, including ‘The Inglewhite’ and ‘The Cottam’.

As part of the development, there will be 16 Affordable homes built in partnership with Great Places, which will provide quality rental opportunities for locals to access. The homes will be ‘The Savick’ – a 2 bed home and ‘The Ingol’ a 3 bed home. Both house types will be available to rent through Great Places.

Nick Gornall, Director of Development at Great Places, commented: “We’re delighted to be working with Create Homes on our first joint project. The Groves is the start of what we hope will be a growing partnership and will deliver 16 much-needed Affordable homes as part of this exciting new mixed tenure development.

“This is one of the current sites we have in Blackpool, where we have a strong local presence with a local based team managing over 1,200 homes in the area.”

Every ‘Executive Collection’ home at ‘The Groves’, Bispham will feature a quality Stuart Frazer kitchen diner, plus sensational personalisation & upgrade options available, so that buyers can create a home to reflect their own taste, style & budget. All homes will have private paved parking provision and fully fenced & turfed rear gardens.

Paul Mathison, CEO at Create Homes commented: “Following the success of our developments in Inskip, Pilling, Longton, Longridge & Elswick, I am really delighted to be bringing another quality housing development to Bispham. Our experienced sales advisors will be on hand to help and advise at every stage of the home-buying journey, and are now looking forward to helping customers turn their new home dreams into reality.”
