Legal & General Homes has bought a 78-acre site in Shrivenham, Oxfordshire, with outline planning for 515 new homes.
It is the third major site bought by Legal & General’s housebuilding arm, which now has a pipeline of over 3,000 new homes.
L&G intends to use modular construction from its factory in Leeds for the 180 affordable homes on the site.
The first phase is due to start at the end of next year.
James Lidgate, chief executive of Legal & General Homes, said: “We want to challenge public perceptions of new homes by delivering a product that surpasses buildings of the past in terms of quality, efficiency and comfort, while ensuring the homes are carefully integrated into the community, providing much enhanced public realm, facilities and infrastructure.”
