Hayfield Completes on £10m Land Deal for New Homes in Campton
October 3, 2024
Five-star housebuilder Hayfield has completed on a £10m acquisition that will bring 66 zero carbon ready new homes to the Bedfordshire village of Campton.
Hayfield will transform the 12-acre site south of Bedford and northwest of Hitchin with a development that represents a gross development value of £41m and includes 20 affordable homes.
The site, which is allocated for residential development in the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan, received full planning permission in June 2024, paving the way for construction to begin.
Mark Booth, Co-founder of Hayfield said: “We are pleased to have completed on this land deal and secured planning permission for our new development in Campton. We would like to thank our investors and OakNorth for their incredible, continued support and confidence in our vision to create exceptional, sustainable homes.”
Homes at Campton will have solar PV panels, air source heat pumps, energy-efficient underfloor heating, EV charging points, 100% renewable energy, and fibre optic broadband.
Booth continued: "All of the private homes on the development will be built to EPC-A standards, offering our customers a greener way of living. By incorporating cutting-edge sustainable technologies and thoughtful design, we're not just building houses – we're creating homes that will stand the test of time, benefiting both residents and the environment for generations to come."
Construction will start in Spring 2025, with the first homes released for sale later that year.
This will be Hayfield’s fifth development in Central Bedfordshire, following successful schemes at Silsoe, Clifton, Clophill and the recently launched scheme Hayfield Gardens in Toddington.
Campton is a small village with a primary school, church and local village pub and is surrounded by the larger villages of Clifton, Shefford, Chicksands and Clophill. Buses run regularly from the village to Arlesey and Hitchin, both of which have services to London Kings Cross of about 40 minutes.
The site has been acquired from private landowners and Bassil Aslam of Orchestra Land.
