Cuttlebrook Grange: A New Build Community in Knowle, Solihull
Development Overview
Cuttlebrook Grange is a proposed new residential development by Taylor Wimpey, located on land at Lansdowne, Warwick Road, Knowle, Solihull (B93 0DT). The development is currently subject to an outline planning application for up to 215 new build homes, designed to create a functional and sustainable new community. In line with the Knowle, Dorridge, and Bentley Heath (KDBH) Neighbourhood Plan, the proposed layout features a higher density near the existing urban area and a lower density toward the eastern, rural edge. The design brief mandates that the homes will seek to reflect the existing local architectural style of the affluent Solihull borough village.
Property Details and Pricing
The masterplan for Cuttlebrook Grange includes a practical and extensive mix of new build properties, ranging from one- to five-bedroom homes, with buildings up to 2.5 stories in height. A significant component of the scheme includes a commitment to 40% affordable housing, comprising a mix of social rented and shared ownership properties, which is integral to the development’s overall layout. Specific property types, floorplans, and current price lists are to be confirmed, as the site is progressing through the planning stages.
