Vistry Group secures planning approval from Brentwood Borough Council to deliver 182 mixed-tenure homes in Essex

Vistry Group, the UK’s leading provider of affordable mixed-tenure homes, has secured detailed planning permission from Brentwood Borough Council for a site at Doddinghurst Road in Brentwood which will deliver 182 high-quality mixed-tenure homes.

The site will include a mix of private and affordable housing, ensuring accessibility for a wide range of residents. Of the 182 homes being delivered 64 affordable and 118 will be for private sale.

Alongside new homes, the site will also deliver a southern parcel that will be cleared in part and transformed into a greenspace with pathways. Additional open spaces, a play area, and proposed seating will also be provided throughout the development, reinforcing Vistry’s commitment to creating sustainable, long-term communities.

Peter Willis, Managing Director at Vistry Eastern Home Counties, says: “At Vistry we are committed to delivering the mix of homes that communities need so we are very pleased to have received planning permission for this site in Brentwood, representing a significant step forward in helping to meet local housing needs. This is a really exciting milestone for Vistry and our valued partners and supply chain. We look forward to bringing this project to fruition.”.

Construction is expected to commence in early 2026, with the first homes anticipated for completion in winter 2026.
