Work officially begins on site at Scotby Grove

We’re excited to share that construction is now officially underway at Scotby Grove, our latest Cumbrian residential development set in the picturesque village of Scotby.

To celebrate this significant milestone, members of our Land and Planning, Production and Sales teams gathered on-site for a ceremonial ‘spade in the ground’ moment, marking the official start of this much-anticipated project.

Scotby Grove will feature a carefully planned collection of 112 high-quality homes, ranging from 2 to 5 bedrooms, designed to suit a variety of lifestyles in a highly sought-after location. We’re looking forward to watching this new community take shape over the coming months.

Of the 112 homes, 33 will be delivered as affordable housing, helping to meet the needs of eligible local residents with a connection to the Scotby area. In addition to providing much-needed new homes, the development will include biodiversity enhancements and create attractive public open spaces for both new and existing residents to enjoy.

As part of our ongoing commitment to the community, Story Homes will also be making financial contributions totalling over £358k in accordance with the Section 106 Agreement* for the scheme. These contributions will support improvements in open space, sports and recreation, primary school places, and local highways and travel infrastructure.

We’re incredibly proud to see Scotby Grove moving forward and look forward to sharing more updates as we bring this exciting new development to life.

* A Section 106 is a legal agreement between an applicant seeking planning permission and the local planning authority, which is used to mitigate the impact of any new homes on the local community and infrastructure
