Midlands-based homebuilder, Cameron Homes, has partnered with JCB to submit plans to redevelop a new 15-acre site in Uttoxeter town centre.

The partnership will see Cameron Homes and JCB utilise the former Bamford Works site to create a landmark housing development titled ‘Bamford Place’. A detailed planning application for 118 units has now been submitted following the exchanging of contracts.

The proposed plans will see the whole site redeveloped and regenerated to create a high-quality scheme consisting of one to five bedroom homes set across single and two storeys, as well as townhouse property types.

Bamford Place will offer excellent connectivity to the local transport network, as well as links to the local community, which is home to five primary schools and the JCB Academy. The plans demonstrate a commitment to building a lasting legacy with the addition of parklands and public open space, and the pedestrianisation of Pinfold Street.

The development will also carry the latest in sustainable technology to provide energy-efficient homes.

John Hickman, Group Land Director at Cameron Homes, said: “This is a momentous project for us at Cameron Homes and it is a sincere point of pride to undertake such an innovative joint partnership with JCB.

“Both the creative vision and meticulous design of this new development gives us confidence and excitement as we move forward in the area of Uttoxeter. We aim to create a thriving community in Bamford Place offering high-quality homes and public open spaces, providing a lasting legacy for the local area.”

JCB Chairman, Lord Bamford said: “I have taken a keen personal interest in securing the best possible legacy for the Bamford Works site since it was vacated in late 2008. At every step along the way, I have wanted the redevelopment to be of the highest possible standard. I’m pleased that we are finally at the stage of submitting a detailed planning application for 118 new homes.

“I look forward to Cameron Homes delivering a new development, that everyone is Uttoxeter can be proud of.”
