Pictured: Typical homes from Redrow's New Heritage Collection, similar to those planned for Cawston Grange, Rugby

With plans to build more than 120 new homes in Rugby, Redrow will be boosting the local economy by providing jobs and homes.

The award-winning housebuilder has outline planning permission to build on a 12.8 acre site on Calvestone Road in Cawston Grange. 

A reserved matters application has now been submitted for detailed approval to develop the land to offer 129 homes from Redrow's popular New Heritage Collection.

Matthew Pratt, managing director for Redrow Homes (Midlands), commented: "The new homes at Cawston Grange will be a welcome boost to the local economy, providing employment for construction workers and adding to the housing stock. 

"Our New Heritage Collection is proving popular across the country with buyers who want a home that oozes the character of an older property but is easy to maintain and efficient and run. The homes at Cawston Grange will look traditional from the outside, taking inspiration from the architecture of the Arts and Crafts era; while inside they will be bright, modern and full of family friendly features."

While the majority of the development will feature four and five-bedroom detached family homes, there will also be some affordable two and three-bedroom properties.

A wildlife corridor will be retained along the eastern boundary of the development; while a large oak tree in the middle of the site will be the centre piece of public open space.

Redrow will also make a contribution to education locally and to a library.

"At Redrow we take pride in all we do from choosing the locations in which we build, to the standard of craftsmanship and our customer service. The homes at Cawston Grange will enjoy an excellent location close to Rugby town centre ensuring that residents' needs are well catered for. There are schools nearby making the homes well placed for those with families; while excellent links to the M45 and M1 means they are also ideal for commuters," Matthew added.

The first homes at Cawston Grange will be released for sale early in 2012.
