Council Leader praises local effort behind 52-home new homes in Leigh Sinton

The Leader of Malvern Hills District Council, Cllr John Gallagher, recently visited the site of a new 52-home development in Leigh Sinton, where construction is now underway.

Cllr Gallagher was welcomed by Colin Cole, CEO at Lioncourt Homes, along with Site Manager Ben Hingley and Rob Brown, Health, Safety and Environment Manager.

During the visit, Cllr Gallagher toured different areas of the site and discussed plans for the high-quality homes and green spaces, which are set to be complete in 2027.

Named The Hamlet and located off the A4103, the development will be comprised of a range of two, three, four and five-bedroom homes in detached, semi-detached and terraced styles.

15 of the 52 homes being delivered will be available through social rent and shared ownership, with the remainder offered through the open market.

Over £350,000 in Section 106 contributions will be invested into the community, supporting education, school and community transport, public spaces, children’s play areas, local NHS provision as well as green spaces such as play areas, parks, gardens and allotments.

Cllr John Gallagher said: “It was a pleasure to visit this important development and see first-hand the work that is going into delivering these much-needed homes.

“It’s always great to see developments that are meeting the housing needs across the Malvern Hills district and are being delivered by a local homebuilder.

“I look forward to seeing the development blossom into a great place to live and somewhere the Malvern Hills residents can thrive.”

Colin Cole, CEO at Lioncourt Homes, said: “We were delighted to welcome Cllr Gallagher to The Hamlet to showcase the progress being made in delivering these significant homes for Leigh Sinton.

“As a five-star homebuilder and a Worcester-based company, we are proud to be meeting the growing demand for homes of all tenures while supporting the economy through investment and employment.

“We are committed to delivering developments that provide much-needed housing but also blend seamlessly into their charming locations.”

Earlier this year, Lioncourt Homes secured a five-star customer satisfaction rating from the Home Builders’ Federation (HBF) for the 11th consecutive year.
