New housing development in Leigh Sinton taking shape
A new housing development is taking shape.
The 52-home project is being built in Leigh Sinton, and was visited recently by Councillor John Gallagher, leader of Malvern Hills District Council.
Named The Hamlet, the development is located off the A4103 and will offer a mix of two, three, four, and five-bedroom homes in detached, semi-detached, and terraced designs.
Cllr Gallagher said: "It was a pleasure to visit this important development and see first-hand the work that is going into delivering these much-needed homes.
"It's always great to see developments that are meeting the housing needs across the Malvern Hills district and are being delivered by a local homebuilder.
"I look forward to seeing the development blossom into a great place to live and somewhere the Malvern Hills residents can thrive."
He was welcomed to the site by Colin Cole, CEO of Lioncourt Homes, along with site manager Ben Hingley and health, safety, and environment manager Rob Brown.
The development includes 15 affordable homes, available through social rent and shared ownership schemes, with the remaining properties for sale on the open market.
More than £350,000 in Section 106 contributions will be invested in the community, supporting education, transport, public spaces, children's play areas, healthcare, and green infrastructure such as parks and allotments.
Mr Cole said: "We were delighted to welcome Cllr Gallagher to The Hamlet to showcase the progress being made in delivering these significant homes for Leigh Sinton.
"As a five-star homebuilder and a Worcester-based company, we are proud to be meeting the growing demand for homes of all tenures while supporting the economy through investment and employment.
"We are committed to delivering developments that provide much-needed housing but also blend seamlessly into their charming locations."
Lioncourt Homes recently received a five-star customer satisfaction rating from the Home Builders' Federation (HBF) for the 11th consecutive year.
The company currently has homes available at The Green in Rushwick and Martley Fields in Martley, with The Hamlet expected to be completed in 2027.
