Called Meadow Brook, the development is being brought forward in partnership with Homes England.

The properties will be designed in line with ‘Building for Healthy Life’, a national code that emphasises the creation of places with people and nature at the centre.

Of these, 71 homes will be constructed using Modern Methods of Construction time frames which support improved energy efficiency and build quality.

“Meadow Brook will provide a bespoke and wide range of high-quality, energy-efficient homes surrounded by abundant green open spaces and waterside walks,” said Katie Dean, land and partnerships director (North West) at Keepmoat.
