Plans Submitted for 263 New Homes, Community Facilities Across UK Sites

Several new housing developments are underway in the UK, aiming to provide a mix of affordable and market-rate homes along with community facilities. Persimmon Homes Wessex has submitted plans for 172 new homes at Valley Park, Didcot, which will include sustainable features and be adjacent to a new primary school opening in two years. In Wokingham, Cala Homes will add 48 new homes at Finchwood Park, alongside sports pitches, allotments, and leisure facilities, with construction tied to developer contributions and council agreements. In Powys, plans for 17 new homes on underutilized land in Castle Caereinion emphasize a design that respects local architecture and provides a range of home sizes for affordability. Meanwhile, Fernham Homes seeks approval for 26 homes in Wrotham, near Sevenoaks, including 10 affordable units on former allotment land mostly outside the green belt, with community well-being projects proposed by the developer. These projects reflect ongoing efforts to balance housing needs with sustainable development and community infrastructure enhancement.
