A new community

Discover the Waverley way of life

Waverley community is poised to become a new self-sufficient, sustainable and integrated community, developed in line with government guidance and providing an inspirational place where people can work, rest and play.

A place where people want to live

The development will feature attractive, well-planned residential areas that seamlessly blend with open spaces, parkland and woodland to provide an environment where people really want to live. Housing types will cater for all budgets and lifestyle preferences, from apartments and townhouses to luxury duplexes and detached executive homes. Almost 25% of the dwellings created will be affordable homes of the residential mix.

A place to get together

But Waverley isn’t just another housing development - it’s a vision for a complete integrated community. To achieve this vision, a host of leisure and community facilities will be created on site. Two new primary schools will be built, as well as health and community centres, play areas, sports pitches, footpaths and nature trails.

A place to enjoy

The landscape of the new community will incorporate everything from woodland and parkland to contemporary urban squares and boulevards, as well as a Continental-style waterfront promenade, shopping areas, restaurants and even a lakeside beach - right in the heart of Yorkshire.

Going places

Binding the whole community together and linking it with its neighbours will be a safe and efficient road network and a new public transport system, with an accessible transport interchange encouraging people to use public transport.
