Numerous new homes are scheduled to be constructed in Pershore because of the multi-million-pound loan provided by an investor in real estate.
Seventy-five homes are planned to be constructed, including 45 being sold for private sale and another 30 designated for affordable housing.
This follows a PS16.5 million mortgage through Octopus Real Estate, which is used to fund the construction of 120 homes while another 46 are under construction in Cambridgeshire.
Andy Scott, head of the residential development of Octopus The Octopus development’s director Andy Scott has said that the project will try to become as eco-friendly as is possible.
He stated: “The UK has a constant shortage of sustainable homes. And within the housing industry, we are obligated to collaborate to create more efficient homes. At Octopus, we recognize the importance of thinking outside of the box when designing homes for the next generation.
“This new development is a perfect illustration of our larger goal of Octopus of investing in properties that bring real benefits to our community and the planet. The homes are planned so that they can be EPC Class A homes, which is a perfect fit perfectly with our approach to helping to build more environmentally sustainable homes.”
In 2000, Octopus announced a partnership with Homes England, the Government’s housing delivery agency, to form the Greener Homes Alliance.
The Alliance will have PS175 million spent on constructing higher-quality, energy-efficient homes across the nation.
The company that developed Pershore Pershore location, WElink Homes, is believed to be using the most modern construction techniques (MMC).

David Ritchie, CEO of WElink Homes, said: “At WElink Homes, we aim to change the construction of new homes, creating living spaces that work for the people who live there, and embrace modern technologies and are built at speed.
“These locations located in Witchford and Pershore and the rest of our developments will benefit from top-quality construction and design, top in energy efficiency and manufacturing excellence, and incredible levels of precision and quality due to our unique MMC delivery system.
“I’m thrilled that Octopus has funds that allow us to finance initiatives similar to these. Our houses, as well as the processes we employ to the delivery of our homes, are designed with care to cut down on energy consumption and help homeowners afford their homes So, Octopus was the perfect choice for us because of the company’s B Corp status and a strong commitment to sustainability.”
