We are pleased to announce that we have received planning permission for a further 27 new homes – making it a hat-trick of developments in Cumbria we are soon to start work on.
Our Edward’s View development in the village of Burgh by Sands was given the green light, meaning we can progress our proposals for 27 two to five bedroom houses and bungalows.
The development will coincide with the building 99 homes at our Derwent Rise in Seaton and 90 properties at Sandsfield Way in Carlisle, creating a trio of perfectly located new developments across Cumbria.
Nicky Gordon, our Managing Director, said: “We’re thrilled to have entered 2025 with full steam ahead and our team is looking forward to starting work on numerous new developments, with further plans in the pipeline.
“It is a really exciting time for Genesis Homes and we are delighted to be able to deliver on our promise to build high specification, energy efficient new homes for communities across Cumbria now that we have gained the necessary permissions from local authorities.
“Our Edward’s View development is located in a desirable part of the region and will be a big asset to the village of Burgh by Sands which has been identified as an area in desperate need of new housing.”
Edward’s View, named in tribute to King Edward I who died in Burgh by Sands in 1307, follows the success of our neighbouring 24-home development, The Orchards, with both being located close to historic Hadrian’s Wall.
Five of the 27 homes have been designated as affordable housing for local residents and further benefits to the community will see Genesis Homes contribute £90,000 towards education within the local area and £40,000 to improve open spaces.
Nicky said: “Genesis Homes is really passionate about supporting communities and we always work with the local authority and current residents of the areas we build in to identify projects and schemes we can assist with.
“Education and recreation are important components to any community and we’re pleased to be improving vital provisions while providing much-needed housing which will enhance village life for local people.”
