Vistry’s Develop Warwickshire JV unveils showhomes in Weddington
Milby Meadows at Top Farm, Weddington, has officially opened its first showhomes, marking a major milestone for the 1,700-home development on the edge of Nuneaton. The launch event gave stakeholders and potential buyers their first look inside these new homes, part of a landmark scheme delivered by Develop Warwickshire, a joint venture between Warwickshire Property & Development Group (WPDG), Warwickshire County Council, and Vistry, the UK’s leading provider of mixed-tenure homes. This partnership is focused on creating a thriving, sustainable community with modern, energy-efficient homes.
The first phase of infrastructure is complete, including a new northern link road connecting local developments and providing access to the recently opened Higham Lane North Academy. Outline planning permission was granted in 2022, with the masterplan including primary and secondary schools, a local centre, green spaces, and improved highways including the A444.
A further 479 homes, a community park, play areas, habitat and balancing ponds, and new footpaths are now approved for the next stage. Once finished, Milby Meadows will offer a range of two, three, and four-bedroom homes for private sale, private rent, with 25% being affordable housing, in partnership with Platform Housing Group.
Develop Warwickshire has committed £2.5 billion to new homes and jobs across the county, with Milby Meadows as its flagship project.
Phil McHugh, Divisional Operations Director for Vistry Yorkshire, North Midlands and West, said: “It’s fantastic to see Milby Meadows at Top Farm coming to life. These new showhomes set the bar for quality across every tenure, and we’re proud to showcase the progress we’re making to meet Warwickshire’s housing needs. Today is a real milestone for everyone involved.”
Stuart Buckley, Managing Director for WPDG, said: “We’re delighted to celebrate another major milestone at Top Farm with the opening of our showhomes, which gives local people the chance to see first-hand the quality and variety of homes being delivered here.
“This is an exciting step forward and a great opportunity for future residents to get a real sense of the community that’s taking shape in Weddington as well as highlighting the strength of our partnership and our shared ambition to create sustainable, thriving communities in the county.”
Councillor Stephen Shaw, Deputy Leader of Warwickshire County Council and Portfolio Holder for Finance and Property, added: “The opening of the showhomes on the Milby Meadows development is a significant milestone for Develop Warwickshire and demonstrates how the partnership is creating a lasting and positive social impact for the benefit of local people and local communities with the creation of sustainable, high quality and affordable new homes.”
