Up to 50,000 new homes to be built in new “garden towns” around Didcot


Thousands of new homes are set to be built in two new “garden towns” around Didcot and the UK government has already expressed their support for the scheme by pledging £1.1m towards the project, a news report could reveal.

The proposals include plans for an additional 15,000 homes in Greater Didcot Garden Town by 2031, while up to 35,000 properties will be built within new Garden Communities in North Essex.

The £1.1m fund will kick start the initial work to develop new housing, new transport improvements, schools, jobs and community amenities.

Housing Minister, Brandon Lewis said: “I’ve been really impressed by the level of ambition and vision shown by Didcot and North Essex and their determination to deliver new sustainable communities.

“We are determined to support communities that are eager to boost the number of homes in their areas to meet local need and this money will help get work up and running quicker.”

Without a doubt, work on the new site will involve a fairly large number of contractors and sub-contractors.
