Vistry Group exchanges contract to deliver 60 affordable family homes in Oldbury
Vistry Group, the UK’s leading provider of mixed-tenure homes, has exchanged contracts on a deal to bring 60 much-needed new affordable homes to Titford Road, Oldbury.
This new development, previously owned by ASDA and designated for development by the local council, will consist of 2-, 3-, and 4-bedroom homes, and will help to bridge the significant housing shortage in the area.
Michael Moore, Managing Director of Vistry North West Midlands, said: “We are thrilled to be working on this development which will not only meet the housing needs of the community but will protect wildlife and ecology whilst bringing investment for services for the area.
“We're excited to be a part of Oldbury’s growth and to be entrusted with the build of these much-needed affordable homes which will help meet the significant housing shortage in the area and create a thriving and sustainable community.”
Planning was granted in April 2025 with plans for the site recognising the importance of protecting wildlife and ecology. Vistry engaged a team of ecologists to conduct a full suite of surveys which informed the development proposals, and the scheme was developed in accordance with Natural England guidance and legislation. Plans for the development include retaining and enhancing the watercourse, creation of a green buffer planted with native species to increase biodiversity, replacement trees for the low-quality trees that would be cleared, as well as opening up the site for the public to enjoy.
