Village housing development nominated for top award

A NEW housing scheme at Appleton Thorn, Warrington, has been nominated in the Small Housing Development of the Year category in this year’s Insider North West Residential Property Awards
Hawthorn Grove is a development by Bloor Homes North West in the centre of the village.
Ironically, it only received planning consent after a six year battle to overcome objections from more than 150 nearby residents.
But planners eventually approved the scheme following a compromise between villagers and the developer which resulting in a reduction in the number of houses.
Rhys Nicholson, regional managing director for Bloor Homes North West, said: “We are extremely proud to be nominated for such a prestigious award. These awards reward companies and individuals who stand out from the rest and go the extra mile, to deliver quality in construction.
“The development features a mix of two, three and four-bedroom homes, including two- and three-bedroom bungalows, which is attracting a nice mix of buyers, from young couples and families, to those looking to downsize. This is really helping to cement a lovely community feel.
“At Bloor Homes we are always committed to delivering the very highest quality homes for all our customers and it is fantastic that our efforts at Hawthorn Grove have been recognised. “
The winners of the competition will be announced later this month.
