Costing over £29.5 million to build, the development has been officially named as Aspire and has been particularly funded by the Homes and Communities agency (HCA).

The development site is expected to make a huge positive impact on the availability of new homes in Bedford. The homes will not only be of the highest quality but will be affordable.

There will be a mixture of homes available ranging from one to two bedroom properties to three to four bedroom family homes. There will also be a mix of share ownership homes, rented properties and outright sales.

The first release of Aspire Homes are expected to be made available early 2011, with some buyers being able to move in as a early as summer 2011. The whole development is expected to be completed by 2016.

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

Developers at Orbit Homes have been granted planning permission to develop the former grade II listed Shipston House and the land that surrounds this dwelling into affordable new homes. Tileman’s Lane will consist of forty-five new homes and have been already been approved by the Stratford upon Avon council’s conversation architect and the English Heritage.

The developers of Orbit Homes plan to refurbish the former Shipston house building into eight one and two bedroom apartments, all of which will be put up for rent. The remaining thirty-seven homes will be turned into two to four bedroom homes. Seventeen of these properties will be available for purchase under the shared ownership scheme and the other remaining twenty will be put up for rent.

It is hoped that this development will really help to offer affordable housing outside the prestigious town of Stratford upon Avon, which is often well known for its lack of unaffordable properties. This development will provide the area with some much-needed new homes in Stratford upon Avon area and also give the community of Shipston on Stour a much-needed boost.

Orbit homes plan to award the building contract by September 2010 and have already been granted the funds by the HCA.
