Staines Town Centre Update

Inland Homes plc, the brownfield developer, housebuilder and regeneration specialist focused on the South and South East of England, today confirms that the appeal lodged against the refusal of Spelthorne Borough Council (the Borough) to grant consent for 206 homes on a brownfield site in Staines town centre has been upheld by the planning inspectorate.

The scheme was originally refused by the Borough on 24 June 2021, despite a planning officer's recommendation for approval.

The Staines scheme is part of Inland Homes' asset management division. This is a high-growth arm of the Group and generates substantial service revenues with significantly reduced investment and capital consumption. The Group secures sites on behalf of investors and uses its extensive land and planning expertise to secure planning approval on their behalf. As 'capital light' activities, these schemes can generate attractive returns.

Stephen Wicks, CEO of Inland Homes, commented:

"This successful appeal decision on a derelict brownfield site in Staines town centre is very pleasing for Inland. The development will include 70 much needed, affordable homes and is exactly the type of scheme where we can make a meaningful contribution to housing delivery in a sustainable way. The management team at Inland continues to maintain their 100% track record in securing planning permissions on brownfield sites over the last 20 years."
