S&P 500 rises as health care, tech gain to overshadow Fed independence concerns
LONDON - Property developer Henry Boot PLC has obtained outline planning permission for 2,470 new homes across two sites in Staffordshire and Hampshire, according to a company press release.
The company’s land promotion business, Hallam Land, received approval for 1,270 homes in Tamworth, Staffordshire, and 1,200 homes in Fareham, Hampshire. The Fareham project was granted on appeal in July 2025 after the local council failed to make a timely decision on the application.
The Tamworth development, which received planning consent in June 2025, will include 30% affordable housing, a 100-unit care facility, a community center, primary school, and sports facilities. The company began promoting this site in 2016, with the initial planning application submitted in 2018.
The Fareham site, which Hallam Land has been involved with since 2008, will feature 40% affordable housing, an 80-bed care home, a primary school, community center, and a new country park with a bird reserve. Marketing of this site is scheduled to begin this month.
Both developments include biodiversity commitments, with the Tamworth project forecasting a net gain of over 10% for surrounding habitats, while the Fareham site will provide biodiversity and nitrates credits that could support other local developments.
Hallam Land reports it has secured planning for approximately 2,500 plots year-to-date and aims to submit applications for 10,000 plots this year. The company currently has active appeals on four other sites totaling around 1,300 residential plots.
Henry Boot, listed on the London Stock Exchange (LON:LSEG) since 1919, operates across urban development, industrial, logistics, and residential markets in the UK.
