Welcome to wonderful Windermere
We’re lucky to have lots of great partners across the public and private sectors – including that much-loved British institution, the National Trust.
In 2019, the National Trust asked us to work with them as the housing delivery partner at Orrest Head Farm. This nine-hectare site sits right next to Windermere Train Station and will kickstart the Windermere Gateway Project – a series of initiatives that bring together landowners, businesses, stakeholders, and developers, all focused on creating a vibrant future for Windermere.
We’re talking new homes, better transport connections, and a warm welcome for both residents and visitors. Our plans are all about being forward-thinking while respecting the stunning landscape and natural beauty that make this area so special.
Progressive partnerships
Since we came on board, we’ve been working hand in hand with our Windermere Gateway partners, including the Lake District National Park Authority and Westmorland and Furness Council, to refine our plans – and in 2024, our proposals for highway improvements were approve.
Comprising a brand-new pedestrian route, better cycle connections, and upgrades to the A591 and Thwaites Lane the improvements, led by Westmorland and Furness Council, pave the way for us to move forward with our housing proposals.
We can’t wait to share more details about these exciting developments with you soon. If you want to be the first to know, make sure to register your interest now. And you can find out more about the whole Windermere Gateway project here.
