Longbridge

Formerly the home of MG Rover, the 468 acre site is being sensitively transformed into a welcoming new environment. A new community heart is being created at Longbridge from which capillaries of employment, leisure, public realm and exciting future opportunities will pulsate.

New homes, new beginnings

At the heart of every successful community lies its people and Longbridge will be no exception. It is hoped that by building upon Longbridge’s existing heritage of individuals driven by success and innovation, a vibrant new community will emerge.

2,000 new homes are to be created at Longbridge designed to offer residential opportunities to a diverse range of people of all ages and influence in order to create a lively and sustainable community for the long term.

Parkview

Situated off the tree-lined Lickey Road, Park View is a development of 113 houses and apartments by St. Modwen Homes. Stunning two and four bedroom show homes are available to view, enabling prospective purchasers to experience the quality of the finished product.

Park View is the first housing development in the UK by St. Modwen Homes and it is being delivered in partnership with the Government’s Homes and Communities Agency (HCA). The range of high quality homes are setting a new benchmark for the area in terms of quality and design.

Longbridge East

St. Modwen and Persimmon Homes have submitted a planning application to Bromsgrove District Council for the first phase of residential development on the former 52 acre Longbridge East works located off Groveley Lane in Cofton Hackett, Worcestershire. The application has been made alongside an outline application from St. Modwen for the overall site which proposes up to 725 new dwellings, with future plans for a new community centre.

The detailed application for the first phase of development to be delivered by Persimmon Homes comprises 229 dwellings offering a mix of two, three and four bedroom homes and incorporating some affordable housing. The application also sets out proposals for a children’s play area and new park, with the opening up of the River Arrow (which has been in culvert since the 1930s) and traffic calming measures for Groveley Lane.

St. Modwen and Persimmon Homes will continue to work with the District Council through the on-going planning application process, and subject to planning approval, work could start on site in mid 2012.

St. Modwen, the UK’s leading regeneration specialist and Persimmon Homes, one of the UK’s leading house builders, have created a joint venture to initially develop 2,000 homes on seven sites owned by St. Modwen across the UK, one of which includes Longbridge East.

Best of town and country

Offering residents the best of town and country living, Longbridge enjoys an attractive semi-rural location nestled at the foot of the Lickey Hills and just a short distance from Birmingham and Bromsgrove centres.

Live, work and play

The development will offer an abundance of public open space and public realm including the reintroduction of the Rivers Rea and Arrow, with the protection and enhancement of ecologies and habitats for wildlife central to its design. Alongside this, a range of retail, leisure and public facilities will be incorporated within the new community ensuring living, working and playing at Longbridge is always a pleasure.
