Approval has been granted by Cannock Chase District Council for the creation of 55 new homes in the Staffordshire town of Norton Canes.

The development – known as Norton Hall Meadow – is being delivered by the West Midlands team. Now on its third phase, the community brings a mix of new homes to the area, helping to address local housing need. As part of the wider site, the team also working to support infrastructure delivery, local job creation and ensure economic development.

Norton Hall Meadow is the first in the group to feature new house types which comply with the very latest building regulations and are of the highest standard of energy efficiency. Some of the measures included are increased levels of insulation, solar PV panels on each of the homes, as well as app-controlled EV car chargers.

Daniel Hassall, Managing Director at Persimmon Homes West Midlands said: “We’re delighted to have received approval for the third phase of Norton Hall Meadow and I want to thank Cannock Chase District Council for their support. Not only will this phase deliver 55 quality new homes, it will create local jobs as part of the construction and generate a significant investment in the local economy.

“We’re also proud to be able to develop the first parcel of new housetypes at Norton Hall Meadows. Ensuring that we’re delivering homes that are of high sustainability standards help to keep our customers’ energy bills low as well as reducing our emissions and having a more positive environmental impact is of utmost importance to us at Persimmon.”
