The first homes have been released onto the market at a 48-home development near Wantage.

The Nurseries development on land off Steventon Road in East Hanney is set to deliver 32 properties for private sale and 16 affordable homes for rent or shared ownership.

A range of two, three and four-bedroom homes are being built on the 6.6-acre site after Vale of White Horse District Council granted planning permission for the development in November 2020.

As part of the planning agreement for the development, Linden Homes is to make an investment of almost £500,000 towards the improvement of local services, the village school and highways, through a Section 106 agreement.

The developer is to provide contributions of £275,000 towards primary education facilities, £95,000 for affordable housing, and over £49,000 for public transport services.

Linden Homes will also contribute £52,000 for highway infrastructure improvements and over £16,000 for the installation and maintenance of public art at an off-site location within the parish of East Hanney.

A community infrastructure levy totalling more than £500,000 is also payable by the developer as part of the planning agreement for The Nurseries.

George Stevens, sales manager for Vistry Cotswolds, said: “We see ourselves as being very much part of the local community and have demonstrated this by laying the foundations for the village school’s new summerhouse and donating £1,000 towards this exciting project."
