This week, the Advantage team has been taking a look at early impressions of the Urban Splash new factory-built homes, which will be built on the Wirral Waters site.

Peel L&P and award-winning regeneration company Urban Splash, had formally submitted a planning application to the Council to build a £55m development of 347 modular homes.

As reported by the Wirral Globe: They have now been given permission to build the first phase of 30.

It is the first phase of a £55m deal to build 347 new homes under the Peel L&P and Urban Splash 50/50 joint venture.

Planning consent includes the customisable Town House from House by Urban Splash, which will launch for sale next spring.

Permission has also been granted for the first Row House homes, the newest product in the House by Urban Splash modular portfolio. Row House has been designed by Liverpool-based architects Shedkm and will be unveiled to the market in 2020.

Richard Mawdsley, director of development at Peel L&P, said: “East Float will be a huge draw for those wanting to take advantage of the very latest in modular housing design and I am delighted that the first wave of this development has now been approved by Wirral Council.

“It’s an exciting start for this area of the development, which will be delivered in phases. This project will not only provide much-needed housing for the area but it will transform the brownfield site into a highly contemporary, internationally recognised waterside residential quarter for families, individuals and couples alike.”

Up to 13,000 new homes are due to be built, and 1,500 native trees planted, as part of the ambitious Wirral Waters plans.
