Major investment into the
regeneration of major city areas
such as Manchester Victoria,
Birmingham New Street and King’s
Cross in London has not only
provided many hundreds of new
homes, but also a wealth of job
opportunities, amenities and public
spaces to support the rejuvenated
neighbourhoods.
New build developments can also
give new life to areas that have
fallen into decline or are no longer
of use for their original purpose.
One example of this is the Heyford
Park development, around six miles
from Bicester. Built on an airfield
which had lain derelict for many
years, it is being re-used to provide
hundreds of new homes, while also
retaining many original heritage
buildings and features.
Government policy has led to
many such ex-military sites across
the country being regenerated in
a similar fashion, along with those
formerly used by councils, the NHS
or police service, for example.
Recently, plans were announced
plans to build around 10,000 new
homes on dozen railway sites,
adding conveniently located
housing to updated stations and
disused ground.
The regeneration that new build
properties bring can also be
seen in the building of the UK’s
first garden city for over 100
years. Situated in Ebbsfleet
Kent, 950 new houses will be
built initially, with plans for an
additional 15,000 new homes
being built later as Ebbsfleet
Garden City continues to grow.
Other new villages and towns
of similar character are set to be
announced across the UK.
Many housebuilders work closely
with local councils to ensure the
very best development is built
for the local community, as much
for rural and semi-rural locations
as for more populated urban
areas. The secret to success is to
make the changes in the most
appropriate way, for example,
using local ‘vernacular’ property
styling and materials, and to the
specific needs of each place.
New homes are not only
improving standards for individual
homebuyers – they are helping
to bring a higher quality of life to
whole communities.

“The introduction of high-
quality new-build housing into
an area can be a powerful
catalyst for change and focus
for regeneration. We’ve seen
neighbourhoods where our
teams have worked completely
reborn, becoming places where
people positively choose to
live. The process of physical
regeneration is just one aspect
of the investment involved in
the creation of new, quality
homes; housing regeneration
often brings with it new roads,
parks and play areas and other
community facilities, as well as
jobs and training opportunities
for local people and a
revitalised sense of community
pride.”
-Justine Elliott, National Sales
Director at Lovell
“Hastoe’s housing schemes are prioritised for local people in perpetuity,
keeping local communities thriving and allowing people to continue to
live where they call home. Some homes are built to ‘Vivohaus standards’
a built method that allows for 90% reduction in space heating
requirements . This frequently produces heating bills at around 10%
of the norm for similar sized houses, but in addition provides a clean,
healthy, fresh and above all comfortable living environment.”
-Sue Chalkly, Chief Executive at Hastoe Group
