Clarion gets planning for North West housing scheme
The development arm of the country’s largest housing association has got the planning green light for a new 165-home development as it continues an expansion into the North West.
Latimer, Clarion’s development company, secured detailed planning permission on Friday for the site which will deliver 116 private sale, 32 affordable rent and 17 shared ownership homes in Sandbach, Cheshire.
Work will begin next month on the project which includes a mix of two-bedroom apartments and two, three and four-bedroom houses.
The project is the second significant development secured by Clarion in the North West after it recently started work on a 272-home apartment scheme in Salford Quays.

Clarion has plans to deliver 50,000 new homes across the country over the next decade. This includes a number of large sites such as the 7,500-home scheme in Honingham, 2,600-home scheme in Ebbsfleet’s new garden city and the £1.2bn regeneration of Merton.
Clarion has contracted Cheshire-based construction firm Lane End Group to build homes on the 23-acre site.
Richard White, director of land & planning at Clarion, said: “We want to deliver 50,000 new homes nationwide over ten years and the North West is a major priority for us. We are actively looking to acquire land by ourselves or in partnership, which can be turned into high-quality housing, as we have done at Sandbach and Salford Quays.”
