Pigeon secures site in North Weald Bassett

Pigeon is pleased to announce that we have secured a promotion agreement with a landowner for 14 acres of land south of Epping Road, North Weald Bassett, within Epping Forest District, Essex. The land adjoins a site that Pigeon purchased freehold earlier this year, bringing the combined site to 29 acres.

Following public engagement on our emerging proposals in June, we will shortly submit an outline planning application for new homes and associated infrastructure.

Ed Lowe, Director – Land at Pigeon, commented: “Bringing these two parcels together allows us to plan the site as a whole and deliver more for the village. Our plans put affordable housing and green space at their heart. Half of the new homes will be affordable, and more than half of the site will become public open space, including a new circular walk for existing and new residents.”

Thanks go to the landowner, Mark Russell at Carter Jonas, Rebecca Kirwan and Thomas Higgins at Savills, and Tim Bacon at Howes Percival.
