Persimmon and Barratt Homes have secured a joint venture
Working closely with Wiltshire Council, Persimmon has advanced the outline planning permission process for the 177-hectare site. Under the new partnership, Barratt Homes Bristol will acquire half of the land, and the development will be co-delivered by the two companies and their affiliates, including Charles Church, David Wilson Homes, and Redrow Homes. The outline planning approval is expected early next year, with detailed planning phases to follow. The goal is to deliver high-quality, energy-efficient homes as part of this urban extension.
The project will feature a multi-million-pound investment in local infrastructure, including education, healthcare, transportation, and enhancements to recycling facilities. It will also provide 68 hectares of public open spaces comprising play areas, green spaces, sports pitches, and allotments.

The scheme prioritises biodiversity by preserving key habitats, introducing new planting, and installing bird and bat boxes and sustainable drainage systems. Special attention has been given to support bat species in the nearby Biss Wood and Green Lane Nature Park.
An on-site ecology visitor centre will also be established, and the development will include a major infrastructure project: the Yarnbrook and West Ashton Relief Road. This strategic improvement aims to bolster connectivity in the area, complementing the new community being built.
Seb Spiller, Persimmon Homes and Charles Church’s deputy Managing Director for Wessex, said: “Persimmon is delighted to have reached an agreement with Barratt Redrow to deliver up to 2,500 high-quality homes in Trowbridge, opening up the dream of homeownership to local families and meeting housing need in Wiltshire.”
Rob Hart, Managing Director at Barratt Homes Bristol, said: “We have been working and building homes in this region for many years. The plans are incredibly exciting and we are so delighted to be part of this venture and to have this opportunity to bring more homes to local communities in Trowbridge.”
