Henry Boot sells resi plots to Mulberry and Taylor Wimpey

Henry Boot’s Hallam Land subsidiary has sold 365 residential plots to two housebuilders. The land promotion business has sold 75 plots in Ambrosden, Oxfordshire, to Mulberry Homes for £6.8m and 290 plots in Sittingbourne, Kent, to Taylor Wimpey for an undisclosed price. Henry Boot chief executive Tim Roberts said: “Our latest residential plot sales to Mulberry Homes and Taylor Wimpey reaffirm the continued success of our land promotion business, benefitting from the government’s commitment to planning reform, as well as the ongoing appetite from national and regional housebuilders for well located, permitted land. “The delivery of much needed new homes across these regions, as well as the planning consent gained for significant green infrastructure and spaces, will transform the local area and community.”
