Vistry Group, a provider of mixed-tenure homes, has received approval from Chichester District Council for new homes in Tangmere, England.

Chichester District Council has issued a planning decision notice for the ‘Tangmere Strategic Development Location Site’ project.
This development is also set to include a new primary school alongside community and commercial facilities.
The council’s planning committee first resolved to grant permission for the scheme in March 2021.
But owing to the complexities involved with the compulsory purchase order process and changes to the planning application boundary for the site, the outline application underwent further review.

By GlobalDataIn August 2023, the project once again received a resolution to grant permission, and the recent issuance of the formal decision notice marks a step forward, transitioning the project into the subsequent phase of delivery.
Selected by Chichester District Council, Vistry Group is spearheading this initiative, which aligns with development plans outlined in both the Chichester Local Plan and the Tangmere Neighbourhood Plan.
The development has been shaped through extensive collaboration with Tangmere Parish Council and local residents over the years.
Now, with the planning decision notice issued, the focus shifts to the detailed reserved matters application phase, which will concentrate on the design and layout specifics of the homes and associated facilities.
Vistry Group anticipates the commencement of infrastructure construction in 2026, with the broader development expected to begin later that same year.
Vistry Strategic Land managing director Martin Leach said: “Receiving formal outline planning permission is a significant step in realising the vision for Tangmere. We remain committed to working closely with Tangmere Parish Council and local residents to produce a Design Code that will guide the next phase of this transformative development.”
In March 2025, Vistry Group entered into an agreement with Milton Keynes City Council to construct a new village, consisting of 930 homes to the east of Newport Pagnell in Buckinghamshire, England.
