More new homes are planned for the Whitehouse area of Milton Keynes following the purchase of land by housebuilder ilke Homes.
Housing manufacturer ilke Homes has announced the purchase of a seven-acre site in the Whitehouse area of Milton Keynes.
Being delivered by L&Q estates, ilke Homes aims to build 140 factory-made homes to form part of the 4,330-home Whitehouse masterplan.
It is expected that the new development at Whitehouse will create 4,300 homes, new jobs a secondary school and three primary schools. Plans also include a health facility, indoor sports and other leisure facilities, and play areas.
The modular house builder is now in conversation with organisations to acquire funds for the new homes at Whitehouse.
A planning application will be sent to Milton Keynes City Council in April with work starting by the end of 2023, subject to approval.
Tom Heathcote, executive director of development at ilke Homes, said: “ilke Homes continues to expand across the South East, with today’s announcement marking our first site acquisition in Buckinghamshire.
"Our teams are excited to be working alongside L&Q Estates and some of the UK’s most well-known house builders as part of this fantastic consortium, which promises to deliver a well-designed community with placemaking at its heart. Since launching in 2020, our land-led, turnkey offering has seen exponential growth, demonstrating the strength of our vertically-integrated approach to development.”
Adrian Clack, Managing Director of L&Q Estates, said: “L&Q Estates and Milton Keynes City Council have been involved in the development of this site for over 20 years, facilitating the delivery of much-needed homes, social infrastructure and facilities for the community in Whitehouse.
"Modular housing is a really exciting advancement in building energy-efficient properties at a much faster rate and it will be fantastic to see these high-quality properties lowered into place for families to move into and start creating their dream homes. These will be the first modular homes in Whitehouse and we look forward to the first families moving into them next year.”
