First houses in 90-home development in Burton Green coming summer 2019
The homes will be built on the old site of Burrow Hill Nurseries between Red Lane and Hob Lane.
Developers CALA Homes have now formally acquired the land and will build 14 two-bed, 25 three-bed, 11 four-bed and four five-bed houses there.

A village green, a community playing field and a drop-off point for pupils attending Burton Green Primary School will also be included.
Planning permission was granted by Warwick District Council in January. The site had been identified in Warwick district's Local Plan for 90 homes.
Dan Forrester, area land director for CALA Homes (Midlands) Ltd, said: “We are pleased to have completed the acquisition of the land and look forward to delivering high quality housing for the local area.

However, Burton Green Parish Council was opposed to the plan. It preferred an earlier plan from CALA Homes for 83 houses.
But this was later increased to 90.
