Karl Wiseman, Managing Director of Persimmon Homes North West, has heaped praise on the team behind the purchases and planning achievements.

He said: “It’s been a really challenging 12 months for everyone, but the collective achievement of the North West team in getting these deals over the line is fantastic, and I am immensely proud of everyone.”

As well as securing planning permission on the second phase of Shavington Park in Crewe, Persimmon has spent nearly £18m purchasing land in Anfield, Cheadle and Maghull.

The four sites are set to deliver 945 new homes, including 218 affordable properties, and bring in an estimated Gross Development Value of £157,700,000.
