Our Proposals

Taylor Wimpey seeks to create a sustainable development that addresses Solihull’s housing needs while seamlessly integrating with the existing communities and landscape.

  • Delivery of up to 120 new homes, in a mix of types and tenures
  • Provision of 50% affordable housing
  • Energy-efficient homes, with a range of sustainability features
  • New open green space, including a community park and green corridors
  • A new exit on Stratford Road roundabout to enable access and ensure continued traffic flows
  • Safe walking routes, enabling direct access to neighbouring residential sites and the wider area
  • Biodiversity enhancements
  • Sustainable drainage systems to minimise flooding risk

The Masterplan

We want to create a vibrant and sustainable community where residents can thrive. We aim to deliver high-quality, energy-efficient homes that are beautiful but also environmentally friendly, integrating sustainability features to minimise our carbon footprint.

The proposal ensures integration into the existing community and is positioned as a natural extension to recently approved proposals at neighbouring sites on Dog Kennel Lane. Its sustainable and strategic location means that new residents will benefit from new facilities in the neighbouring developments, without exerting pressure on existing local amenities.

The site will benefit from the creation of a new exit on the Stratford Road roundabout, delivering a direct, single entrance/exit point that provides safe and convenient access for vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists.  

Design that serves the community whilst respecting the landscape

Taylor Wimpey has worked carefully to design the site in a way that protects and enhances the natural landscape, whilst serving the community to meet increasing housing needs.

Nature and the environment are at the heart of our plans. We want to create a community where green spaces are integrated into everyday life – a new children’s play area and open space will provide places for all ages and abilities to rest, relax and play.

Our emerging masterplan has evolved to carefully respond to the landscape setting, topography, opportunities and constraints of the site. The layout and materials used are designed to reflect the local landscape and traditions, ensuring the development feels rooted in its surroundings. By drawing on the character, colours and textures of nearby buildings and natural features, the scheme creates a sense of place that complements the existing community.

Environment & Ecology

At Land East of Joseph House, Taylor Wimpey is committed to building high quality, energy efficient homes that enable residents to live well, feel part of a community and adopt a more sustainable lifestyle. The development prioritises sustainability across the site, protecting and enhancing ecology through thoughtfully designed green spaces, alongside the delivery of energy efficient homes.

Greener, Heathier homes

Each home will incorporate a range of features designed to reduce carbon emissions and promote long-term energy efficiency:

  • High-quality insulated roofs, walls and windows
  • Zoned heating systems
  • Water saving taps
  • 100% low energy light fittings
  • Low carbon technologies including triple glazing, wastewater heat recovery systems and high efficiency boilers

Biodiversity

A connected network of green infrastructure, footpaths and cycleways will link new public open spaces with recreational routes and informal pathways around the homes and landscaped areas. This framework will provide opportunities for new habitat creation alongside extensive tree planting.

We are placing wildlife and green space at the heart of our plans. From planting wildflower meadows to integrating hedgerows and trees, the development will support a rich variety of species while creating attractive, accessible spaces for people to enjoy nature on their doorstep.

To reduce the risk of flooding, the site will have an Integrated Sustainable Urban Drainage System. This will form an integral part of the development’s green infrastructure, promoting local ecology and biodiversity while assisting in mitigation against flooding and accommodating surface water drainage, mimicking natural drainage of the site.
