Gleeson to deliver 147 high-quality affordable homes in Keyingham
Gleeson Homes, the high-quality affordable housebuilder, is delighted to have completed on the purchase of land for a development of 147 high-quality affordable new homes on Ottringham Road in Keyingham, following the planning consent which was received in December 2024.
The development, named Mill View spans 10.9 acres and will feature a mix of 2, 3, and 4-bedroom homes. Formerly a plant nursery specialising in strawberries, salad, fruit, and vegetables, the disused brownfield site has been redundant for several years. Ideally situated just 10 miles from Hull City Centre, the development offers excellent commuting options and easy access to local amenities. Mill View is nestled between Gleeson’s current developments at Kingston Fields in Hull and Sands Reach in Withernsea, both less than 10 miles away.
As with all Gleeson developments, a couple earning the National Living Wage will be able to purchase a home on this development. Gleeson expects the site to be popular with a range of different customer demographics, from first-time buyers to second-steppers and downsizers, with the homes due to start from prices of around £165,000. Gleeson expects to open its show homes and launch sales by early 2026.
Gleeson’s homes cater to a variety of needs, offering modern amenities and sustainable features, designed to improve the living standards of future homeowners. On average, a Gleeson home requires 49% less energy to heat and power than a second-hand home (MJ Gleeson Annual Report FY 2024).
The Section 106 agreement associated with the development will provide significant support to the community, including over £198,000 towards recreational facilities and over £47,000 towards the Strategic Access Management and Mitigation Strategy (SAMMS) which will help to fund mitigation measures in respect of the Humber Estuary conservation area. Alongside the community investment listed above, Gleeson will also be adding a pedestrian crossing on Ottringham Road to ease access to the school for both locals and Mill View residents.
“We are delighted to have secured this development. This project represents our commitment to providing quality homes and contributing to the growth and development of the East Riding area. We look forward to giving this unused land a new lease of life and welcoming both local and new residents to the community.”
