Construction starts at David Wilson York site
The 139-home estate on the edge of Wheldrake village will comprise a mix of one-, two-, three-, and four-bed homes, with 16 different house types.
Named Bramble Wood, the estate will be energy efficiency-led, the firm said, and the site will have bat boxes, swift boxes, sparrow terraces, a hedgehog highway, 100 newly planted trees, and 280m of hedgerow.
The first homes are due to go on sale in spring 2025.
David Wilson Homes Yorkshire East will also contribute more than £5m towards local facilities, including £1.5m towards education, £70,000 towards local bus services, and £175,000 towards healthcare.
Daniel Smith, managing director of David Wilson, commented: “It’s exciting to have work underway in Wheldrake, and we are thrilled to be bringing a variety of homes to the area, including our first ever David Wilson Homes Yorkshire East bespoke plots.”
