A major housing developer currently applying to build 83 homes around Warwickshire Police's Leek Wootton headquarters has relocated to Oxford as it plans to expand in the region.

Cala Cotswolds, formerly known as Cala Midlands, has today revealed that it has relocated its head office from Solihull to Oxford Technology Park, as it expands its operating area of Warwickshire, Gloucestershire, and Solihull to include Wiltshire, Vale of White Horse, and the high growth area of Oxfordshire.

In Warwickshire, the Cala Cotswolds team has secured planning permission for almost 900 new homes since 2016, contributing over £7.8million in Section 106 agreements to local councils.

Cala Cotswolds is one of eight regional businesses within the Cala group, which has been owned by Legal & General Capital since 2018.

It expects to deliver over 3,000 homes across the group this year and will employ more than 1,200 people.

Flagship Cala Cotswolds' developments include major projects across Warwickshire, such as; Coton House Estate in Rugby, Foxgloves in Shipston on Stour and more recently the region exchanged contracts for the new site in Leek Wootton.

Currently, Cala is also building 246 homes at Fernleigh Park in Stratford-upon-Avon.

As part of this new phase of growth, Cala Cotswolds is actively seeking further immediate and strategic land opportunities, having outlined potential for 1,300 new homes to be added to its pipeline over the next three years. 

Andrew Dicker, managing director of Cala Cotswolds, said: "We're at a pivotal point as a business having identified significant potential for growth across Oxfordshire, as well as Warwickshire, Gloucestershire and Solihull. Moving our base to Oxfordshire is going to be transformative – putting us at the heart of a region that has strong public and private sector support for economic growth, including housing.

"We are actively seeking to build on our existing investment in the region by sourcing more land. Our focus is on sites in towns and larger villages with the capacity for 50 homes or more where, through our value-add approach and industry-leading design, we can deliver desirable, high-quality developments."

"Ultimately, we have the appetite and the capability to be delivering high-quality homes for new and existing communities in fantastic parts of the country. Our repositioning and new base at Oxford Technology Park have set us up for further future success."
