Hopkins Homes has acquired a site that will bring 100 new homes to a village north of Colchester.
The 23-acre site in Great Horkesley has outline planning permission and a reserved matters application is due to be submitted in April. Subject to the next planning approval, work is expected to begin on site in January 2026, with the first legal completions in December 2026.
Duncan Jackson, managing director of Hopkins Homes, part of the untypical group, said: “Our track record of creating distinctive new homes, reinforced by our five-star customer satisfaction rating, has established Hopkins Homes as a trusted choice for landowners throughout East Anglia.”
He added: “With sustainability at the core of our developments, we’re committed to building communities that thrive for generations. Our most recent acquisition in Great Horkesley will be no exception, with placemaking at its heart and a range of distinctive new homes that give a nod to our heritage whilst providing energy efficient modern living.”
The scheme, which will include 30 affordable homes, will incorporate 5.1 hectares of public open space, including a new community allotment and a Scouts and Girl Guide hut.
