Construction work finished at Highnam housing development

A new development in Highnam has now been completed, with all of the new homes there now built and sold.

Bellway has provided 88 two, three, four and five-bedroom homes at Lassington Reach, off Lassington Lane.

The housebuilder is now planning to give home-hunters another chance to buy a new home in the area, having recently submitted detailed plans to build 50 properties on a site five miles from Highnam, on land east of Hempsted Lane in Gloucester.

The reserved matters application to Gloucester City Council includes proposals for 30 four and five-bedroom houses for private sale, and 20 affordable homes comprising one and two-bedroom apartments and three and four-bedroom houses. Some of the affordable housing will be suitable for wheelchair users.

The proposed development will also include cycleways, footpaths, and the restoration of an orchard at the south of the site.
