Our teams across the West Midlands have hit a key milestone which will see the company build an additional 1,200 homes in the region.

In the area, which covers four of our regional offices - Telford, Birmingham, Studley and North Midlands - we have received planning approval on sites in Lichfield, Kenilworth, Redditch, Sandwell and Burton on Trent in the last six months.

Along with this. we have recently acquired additional land for development in Dunchurch and Bedworth with a further acquisition in Wednesbury due later this month.

Stephen Cleveley, Regional Chairman for Persimmon Homes said: “The West Midlands is of vital importance to our company. We see lots of opportunity to deliver quality homes in the area and ultimately support the Government’s target of building 1.5 million new homes over the next five years. Our relationships with Local Authorities and Registered Housing Providers are key to this success and we value the engagement we have with these organisations.

Our national timber frame factory, which manufactures our timber frames, highly insulated wall panels and roof cassettes for up to 9,500 of our homes around the country, is based in Castle Bromwich, reinforcing our commitment to the area.

We’re excited to begin work on these sites and to deliver quality homes to the people of the West Midlands.”
