Deeley opens Warwickshire development

A Warwickshire village is celebrating after winning a planning battle that has led to a new development and which will “bring more vitality to local life”.

The Meadows is a new 10-home development delivered by Deeley Homes in Pillerton Priors near Stratford, which officially launched this week.

Three of the properties have already been sold, and Pillerton Priors Parish Council chairman Ian Greenall was invited to perform an open ceremony after the council ensured the development went ahead.

He said: “We are delighted to see The Meadows opening and people moving in. Originally planners were against the development but we could see that it would be good for the village to have new homes of different sizes and types to attract people here, so we fought that decision.

“We worked closely with Deeley Homes and they were more than happy to supply the variety of housing we felt would be of most benefit, so we are very pleased that the development is not only open but is proving successful. It will bring more vitality to local life.”

The Meadows features two, three and four bedroomed houses and bungalows and looks over open countryside. The site used to belong to the family of local vicar the Rev J Findon, and its road is named Findon Fields in their honour.

Anthony Holt, a director of Deeley Homes, said The Meadows was an example of a village determining how new homes would be of benefit.

“The Parish Council felt quite strongly that not only was this site suitable for new homes but also that any development had to feature a variety of sizes and types of property,” he said.

“We worked closely with them to ensure that we delivered what they wanted and the village needed and we are very proud of the results.

“The fact that we have sold 30 per cent of the homes before we have opened a show home underlines that they were correct and that we have provided homes of real quality.”
