The joint venture, called Develop Warwickshire, will see projects wortth 拢2.5bn completed, bringing forward sites for housing over a 30-year period. Three are slated for development within the next year.
Homes developed by the partnership, which was created following an 18-month procurement exercise, will be timber-framed and feature solar panels, reflecting the local authority鈥檚 desire to create sustainable homes for the region.
Peter Butlin, deputy leader of the council, said working with Countryside, bought last month for 拢1.3bn by Vistry, over a longer period enabled them to make a 鈥渕ore strategic approach and to maximise investment and efficiency in delivering developments鈥�.
Countryside is already working in the West Midlands, with 620 homes already being built in Kenilworth in partnership with Warwick District Council.
The first three sites to be brought forward are in Nuneaton, Warton and Water Orton.
Top Farm at Nuneaton has outline consent for 1,700 homes and a local centre, public consultation begins next month on the development of 54 homes in Water Orton, while a reserved matters application has been submitted to build 71 homes at Warton.
