Tilia Homes set to deliver new homes in Aylesbury after land deal

Tilia Homes, part of the untypical group, has completed a land deal to bring new homes to the west of Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire’s county town.

The 3-acre site has been acquired from the Berryfields’ consortium comprising Taylor Wimpey, Martin Grant Homes, Tilia Homes and Cala Homes. Tilia Homes has enjoyed a long-running involvement with the consortium having previously developed on the site under the Kier and Twigden brands.

Berryfields is a phased urban extension to Aylesbury which will deliver over 3,000 homes, as well as employment areas. Construction began in 2010 and the area currently has a primary and secondary school, children’s parks, a community centre, and a district centre with retail and health facilities. It also has its own railway station, Aylesbury Vale Parkway, providing a direct link to London Marylebone.

The land acquired by Tilia Homes benefits from outline planning permission for residential use. A Reserved Matters application is due to be submitted this month. Once approved, construction will commence in winter 2025/26.

The scheme will deliver 50 new homes comprising a mix of two, three and four-bedroom homes and one and two-bedroom apartments. A third of the properties will be designated as affordable housing under the planning consent.

Gareth Jacob, Regional Managing Director for untypical’s Eastern region, said: "We're thrilled to announce our land acquisition at Berryfields near Aylesbury. We are committed to delivering quality, sustainable housing solutions that meet the growing demand in this vibrant community.

Gareth continued “This project not only strengthens our presence in Buckinghamshire but also demonstrates our dedication to creating thriving communities that people want, need and are proud of."

Berryfields offers several retail and commercial spaces, including eateries, and a supermarket. Transport links include its own railway station, Aylesbury Vale Parkway, and the Western Link Road, connecting the A41 and A418.
