Cheshire-based housebuilder Jones Homes has secured a 37-acre site on Warmingham Lane in Middlewich, where construction has now commenced on a new 235-home neighbourhood. The development, named Warmingham Park, is designed to provide a diverse range of housing options while dedicating approximately half of the land to landscaped green space.

The project features a mix of one to five-bedroom houses, apartments, and bungalows. These homes are designed with a focus on modern energy efficiency, incorporating low-carbon technologies such as electric vehicle charging points and air source heat pumps.

As part of the development agreement, Jones Homes will contribute over £1.2 million toward the planned Middlewich Eastern Relief Road. In the event that the road project does not proceed, these funds are designated for reallocation toward local education or affordable housing. Additionally, the developer is providing 24 affordable homes specifically for individuals with a connection to the local area.

The environmental design for Warmingham Park includes significant community amenities. Residents and the wider public will have access to new wildlife habitats, a children’s play area, and a community orchard, reinforcing the project’s goal of balancing residential density with natural spaces.

The site layout was finalised following the approval of a reserved matters application in December 2024, building on the outline planning consent originally granted in 2019. The architectural style of the new homes has been adapted to reflect the existing character of Middlewich.

Carol Barlow, Sales and Marketing Director for Jones Homes North West, noted that the team worked to create a neighbourhood that addresses the specific housing needs of the area. She highlighted that the inclusion of various property types, including four bungalows, ensures the development caters to a broad demographic while providing high-quality, characterful housing.

Work is now underway on-site, with Jones Homes expecting the new neighbourhood to take shape throughout the coming year. More information and registration for updates are available via the company’s official website.
