The fourth new site is a 151-plot development at Field Lane, Scalby near Scarborough with a total GDV of £28m.

Daniel Crew, regional managing director at Keepmoat Homes, said: “Our team has been working hard for many months on a number of land acquisitions and we are delighted to complete on four significant sites in the region.

“As a business our ethos is to not just build homes, but transform communities and improve the lives of local people.  The sites will offer 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom homes, multiple house types and various purchasing options from open market sale, shared ownership as well as affordable housing.

“The housing market is picking up once again and we can see from our existing developments across Yorkshire in particular that demand for new build homes is increasing.  To this end, as well as the deals announced today, we have more in the pipeline and we are actively looking for further land acquisitions across the region.”
