Approximately 105 new homes proposed at sought-after Derbyshire location
Owl Homes is pleased to announce the acquisition of land at Shipley Lakeside in Derbyshire, marking another important milestone in the company’s continued growth across the Midlands.
The site has the potential to deliver approximately 105 new homes and forms part of the wider Shipley Lakeside masterplan, a well-established residential community located on the edge of Shipley Country Park and Shipley Lake.
A planning application has now been submitted and Owl looks forward to working with local stakeholders as proposals progress through the planning process.
A Strategic Addition to Owl’s Growing Portfolio
The acquisition further strengthens Owl’s development pipeline and reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to identifying and bringing forward high-quality residential opportunities in locations where there is strong and sustained demand for new homes.
Shipley Lakeside represents an important strategic addition to Owl’s land portfolio, supporting the business’s long-term growth ambitions while reinforcing its presence across Derbyshire and the wider Midlands region.
With its attractive surroundings, established community and excellent access to local amenities, the site offers an opportunity to create a development that complements the character of the area while providing much-needed new homes.
Building on an Established Community
Shipley Lakeside has become one of Derbyshire’s most recognised residential destinations, combining modern living with access to extensive green space and outdoor recreation.
The site’s proximity to Shipley Country Park and Shipley Lake creates a unique setting that balances connectivity and convenience with opportunities to enjoy the natural environment.
Owl’s proposals seek to build upon the success of the wider masterplan, delivering homes that are carefully considered, high quality and designed to meet the needs of future residents.
Looking Ahead
As the planning process progresses, Owl will continue to refine its proposals and work closely with stakeholders to ensure the development makes a positive contribution to the area.
Conor Garvey, Head of Land & Partnerships at Owl Homes, said:
“Shipley Lakeside represents a great example of the kind of opportunity we look for – well-located sites in established areas where there’s clear, long-term demand for high-quality homes.
With Shipley Country Park and Shipley Lake on the doorstep, it’s a setting that really stands out and we’re focused on bringing forward a scheme that not only works commercially, but also feels right for the area and the community taking shape here.”
The acquisition reflects Owl’s confidence in the Midlands housing market and its ongoing commitment to delivering thoughtfully designed homes in locations where people want to live, work and build their futures.
Further updates will be shared as the scheme progresses through the planning process.
