In late July, two developers announced sizable housing schemes in England. Redford Developments applied to convert the former Nationwide headquarters in Swindon into 175 homes with green spaces and a pocket park, while Breck Homes sought planning permission for a 232‑unit affordable estate on the former Ravenhead Brickworks site near Wigan. A few weeks later, the building activity continued across the country. Mulgrave Properties completed a ten‑home, eco‑focused development in the North Yorkshire village of Bubwith, contributing funds for local recreational facilities and installing sustainable features such as heat pumps and EV charging points. Meanwhile, larger proposals were under review near Warrington: Redrow submitted a request for up to 450 homes on a 47‑acre site in Culcheth, and Bellway planned a second phase of up to 250 homes on a 22‑acre parcel in Winwick, both pending environmental impact assessments. ~~Together, these snapshots illustrate an ongoing wave~~ The momentum continued into 2026. In August, Breck Homes secured planning permission from Leeds City Council for a 120‑home affordable development on the former Lloyds Banking Group data centre in Farsley, West Yorkshire.

The proposal retains green corridors, cycle paths, EV‑charging points for each home and a small allocation of self‑build plots.
