New homes for Eastergate

Housebuilder Miller Homes Southern has been given planning permission to build 67 homes at its newest development, The Paddock, in Eastergate. The six-acre site will deliver a selection of one, two, three and four bedroom energy-efficient homes. 30% will be affordable housing, providing a mix of rented, shared ownership and First Homes. The new neighbourhood is the first in the region that will deliver properties to buy under the First Homes scheme, the Government’s new scheme to offer discounted home ownership for first time buyers.
