Inland Homes plc

('Inland Homes' or the 'Group')

 

Cheshunt Lakeside, Hertfordshire - First Private Development phase completes

 

Inland Homes plc (AIM: INL), the brownfield developer, housebuilder and
partnership housing company with a focus on the South and South East of
England, is pleased to announce that the first phase of homes offered for
private sale at its joint venture, Cheshunt Lakeside in Hertfordshire, have
all legally completed.

 

The joint venture has also exchanged a 15-year lease for the 350m(2)
commercial space within this phase with Tesco. Completion is subject to
certain conditions which are in the process of being fulfilled.  This is the
first commercial lease within the development which is set to deliver
significant community benefits to both residents and the wider community.

The 22 one and two-bedroom private sales and delivery of the new supermarket
form part of the larger Cheshunt Lakeside development. The Group's joint
venture, Cheshunt Lakeside Developments Limited (CLDL), received planning
approval in 2019 for 1,725 residential plots and 21,325sqm of commercial and
educational space at Cheshunt Lakeside, with 1,253 of the residential plots
and 4,905sqm of the commercial and educational space owned by CLDL.

 

Located on the site of the former Tesco headquarters, the joint venture forms
part of the Group's largest scheme to date and is already delivering
significant community regeneration, in line with the Group's vision of the
development creating a new 'urban village' within the area.

 

At Cheshunt Lakeside, Inland has recently completed the construction of 195
homes on behalf of local affordable housing provider B3Living and a further
205 homes are under construction on behalf of London BtR Investment Holdings
for delivery in 2024, with both parties having previously purchased the land
from CLDL. Most recently, CLDL received a resolution to grant planning consent
for an additional 51 homes.

 

Following the completion of the sale of the 22 private home sales, CLDL has
now repaid in full its £5.4m development facility with Paragon Development
Finance.

 

Nish Malde, Interim Chief Executive Officer at Inland Homes, commented:

 

"The location of Cheshunt Lakeside - less than a five-minute walk from the
mainline train station, ten minutes from the M25 and within close proximity to
Lee Valley Regional Park - makes it a highly desirable and attractive
proposition to buyers in an area of exceptionally high demand for quality
housing and little comparable available stock.  We are delighted that our
joint venture interest has completed the sale of the first 22 homes offered
for private sale within this development and exchanged a commercial lease with
a national supermarket chain.

 

"A site like Cheshunt Lakeside plays to the Inland Homes core skillsets:
brownfield site acquisition and regeneration through planning. Using these
well-developed skills, we are playing a pivotal role in supporting delivering
much needed new homes, commercial space and community infrastructure within
the area."

Notes to Editors:

Incorporated in the UK in 2005, Inland Homes plc is an AIM-listed specialist
housebuilder and brownfield developer, dedicated to achieving excellence in
sustainability and design.

Inland Homes acquires brownfield land in the South and South East of England
principally for residentially led development schemes. The business then
enhances the land value by obtaining planning permission, before building open
market and affordable homes or selling surplus consented land to other
developers to generate cash.

The Group is committed to extensive public and community consultation in order
to ensure that, where possible, local community needs and objectives are met.

Inland's aim is to create sustainable communities and homes which set a
benchmark for all future developments in the South and South East of England.
The Group is always looking for brownfield sites without planning permission
for future development.
