WARWICKSHIRE MEANS BUSINESS

Project supports Bulkington community

“This scheme is set to see the creation of important new homes for people in Bulkington and surrounding areas. It will make good use of council-owned land by delivering housing in line with local needs and supporting the development of a new community.”  

A development partnership has been announced which will see the delivery of 30 new homes in Bulkington. 

Warwickshire Property and Development Group (WPDG) has appointed award-winning construction and civil engineering company GEDA to work on its latest residential scheme. 

GEDA, headquartered in Northern Ireland, has been established in the Midlands from its office in Derbyshire for nearly 15 years. The firm was selected following a tender process and will now work in partnership with WPDG to bring forward a Reserved Matters planning application for the scheme at Trent Road. 

The residential scheme will include a mix of one, two, three and four-bedroom homes, including 25 per cent affordable housing to meet local needs.  Outline planning was approved for the site in December 2024 by Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council. 

The sustainable homes will feature low-carbon technology, EV charging points and be ready for solar panel installation. The development will also boast LED street lighting and utilise sustainable materials. Work on the new homes, pending the outcome of the Reserved Matters application, is expected to start in spring 2026  

WPDG was established by Warwickshire County Council to realise the potential of its development sites, commercial buildings and mineral rights, including the delivery of affordable and market-priced homes across Warwickshire.  

James Devereux, Finance Director at WPDG, said: “During the tender process we were looking to appoint an experienced residential property developer that had a strong track record of delivering developments of this scale. We’re pleased to be working with GEDA to bring this scheme to the next stage. They are an established company and have strong experience across the Midlands. 

“This scheme is set to see the creation of important new homes for people in Bulkington and surrounding areas. It will make good use of council-owned land by delivering housing in line with local needs and supporting the development of a new community.”  

Trent Road. Colm McVeigh, Build GB Director at GEDA, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership. He said: "We are excited to be partnering with WPDG on up to 30 units. We will be bringing high quality homes to the market that will enhance the area. This initiative underscores GEDA Construction's commitment to enhancing community living standards through thoughtful and sustainable developments”.
