• Genesis Rocking Again In Cumbria

Genesis Homes will soon start work on its Edward’s View development in the Cumbrian village of Burgh by Sands after proposals for 27 two-to-five-bedroom houses and bungalows received full planning permission.

The development will coincide with Genesis Homes building 99 homes at Derwent Rise in Seaton and 90 properties at Sandsfield Way in Carlisle, creating a trio of new developments across Cumbria.

Nicky Gordon, the homebuilder’s managing director, says: “We have entered 2025 with full steam ahead and our team is looking forward to starting work on numerous new developments, with further plans in the pipeline.

“It is a really exciting time for Genesis Homes to able to deliver on our promise to build high specification, energy efficient new homes for communities across Cumbria now that we have gained the necessary permissions from local authorities.

“Our Edward’s View development is located in a desirable part of the region and will be a big asset to the village of Burgh by Sands which has been identified as an area in desperate need of new housing.”

King Edward

Edward’s View, named in tribute to King Edward I who died in Burgh by Sands in 1307, follows the success of Genesis Homes’ neighbouring 24-home development, The Orchards, with both being located close to historic Hadrian’s Wall.

Five of the 27 homes have been designated as affordable housing for local residents, while further benefits to the community will see Genesis contribute £90,000 towards education within the local area and £40,000 to improve open spaces.

Communities

Gordon adds: “We want to support local communities and we always work with the local authority and current residents of the areas we build in to identify projects and schemes we can assist with.

“Education and recreation are important components to any community. We’re pleased to be improving vital provisions while providing much-needed housing which will enhance village life for local people.”
