The firm has traditionally focused on the South and South East of England.

It will now go ahead with £30m plans for 148 residential units at Sherborne Wharf, Birmingham on a prime 2.4 acre site adjacent to Birmingham Canal.

The site comprises three connected areas of land and Inland has secured planning permission for the development of 148 residential units, comprising 45 one bedroom and 103 two bedroom apartments.

The site has an expected GDV of approximately £30m.

Inland Homes has also received a resolution to grant planning consent for the development of 58 residential units at Beaumont Works in St. Albans in a scheme worth £21m.

Paul Brett, Land Director at Inland Homes, said: “While the main focus of our business is on the commuter belt around London as well as other popular areas in the South of England such as Southampton, the strength of our understanding and specialist expertise in the planning system means that we are able to identify opportunities outside of our normal geographical remit, acquire sites and secure planning permission in order to deliver meaningful value for our shareholders.

“Inland Homes now has a strong pipeline of high quality, affordable and much needed homes, further underlining the strong position of the Company against the backdrop of the continuing housing shortage crisis.”
