David Wilson Homes Invests Over £9m in Newbury Community

As part of the planning agreement for its development, Living at Newbury Racecourse, David Wilson Homes is set to invest £9.2m in and around the Newbury area.

The funding is being contributed towards areas surrounding the Fetlock Drive development and will be used to support services and enhance the local facilities and community for new and current residents. Contributions include £3,039,497 towards the area’s education and local libraries plus £215,478 on conservation, £953,428 on healthcare and £3,456,000 on travel and infrastructure.

A WhatHouse? Award-winning developer, David Wilson Homes has been building at Newbury Racecourse for six years and has provided many luxury homes and apartments for a range of homebuyers, including Ross and Dan, who purchased a property using the Part Exchange scheme.

The development has also provided a range of local amenities and brand new facilities for homebuyers and the local community including, a gym and spa, railway station, a nursery and an abundance of open space and dedicated walking and cycle paths.

A recent buyer at Newbury Racecourse, says: “Having lived around Newbury for the majority of our years, we are very familiar with the area and frequent local walks, and the fact that the development includes a playground for kiddies has proved a big hit with our two young grandchildren.”

Recently, the leading developer has worked with the onsite Rocking Horse Nursery for World Book Day and nearby school, St Gabriel’s for its bespoke Building Buddies scheme.

Paul Crispin, managing director at David Wilson Homes Southern, says: “Investing in areas in which we build is a really important responsibility and we’re delighted to offer our support to communities wherever we can. Showing a financial commitment to local communities is a significant part of the planning of a new development, contributions to education and health amenities being amongst the priorities.

“As the country’s largest housebuilder, we are committed to creating a positive legacy. We want to lead the industry not just in the quality of homes that we build, but also in our work with charities and good causes throughout the UK.”

The developer has recently launched a Community Fund scheme to strengthen ties with the areas in which it builds new homes. The Community Fund donates £1,000 each month to a charity or organisation, supporting activities carried out in the local area.
