en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Hill Group obtained planning permission for three separate residential development projects in the Southeast of England around May 6, 2026. The three projects, located in Essex, Oxfordshire, and Hertfordshire, will deliver a total of 268 new homes, including 113 affordable homes.
In Takeley, Essex, Hill Group has been granted approval to develop 108 homes on a 16-acre site off Parsonage Road. The scheme comprises two- to five-bedroom homes for private sale alongside affordable apartments and houses, with affordable housing accounting for 40% of the total. The approval includes replacing a previously planned 66-bed care home with 20 residential units and a reserved matters approval for 88 homes. The project will utilize a "fabric first" construction approach and integrate air source heat pumps and electric vehicle charging points.
In Kidlington, Oxfordshire, planning permission has been secured for a 96-home project, which forms part of a wider strategic allocation for 430 homes. Fifty percent of the homes will be designated as affordable housing, delivered in partnership with SNG, encompassing social rent, affordable rent, and shared ownership tenures. The scheme, seven years in planning, will provide community amenities including sports pitches and play areas, along with a half-hectare land gift to the parish council for the expansion of the local cemetery. The first homes are expected to be completed in 2027.
In Wareham Green, Hertfordshire, Hill Group has obtained full planning permission for a 2.7-hectare site comprising 64 homes, including 22 affordable homes. The project successfully released Green Belt land through the local planning process and features a village-style layout with two- to four-bedroom homes, landscaped open space, and a play area. The homes will also be equipped with air source heat pumps and electric vehicle charging facilities. The site benefits from a rail connection, with direct train journeys to London taking under 40 minutes.
Andy Hill, Founder and Group Chief Executive of The Hill Group, said: "Securing three planning permissions in the Southeast in such a short timeframe is a remarkable achievement and a testament to our team's expertise and perseverance. These developments will deliver a diverse mix of high-quality homes, including a significant number of affordable homes, helping to meet the pressing local housing need."
Construction work on all three sites is scheduled to commence between spring and summer 2026.
