A new housing site in Bicester has been designed to support the environment through a range of initiatives.

Hemins Place has been designed not just for people but also to serve as a haven for insects, animals, and plants.

The houses are surrounded by just more than half an acre of open space for residents and two play areas.

The developers will also plant 89 trees, providing families with an opportunity to connect with nature.

David Wilson Homes has also installed four bat boxes, 11 bird boxes, six bee bricks, and hedgehog highways, and has established a log pile that will house numerous insects.

Sales director at David Wilson's Mercia division, Michaela Lancaster, said: "We are proud of the measures we have put in place to make our sites more ecologically friendly.

"We want to do everything we can to make our developments great places for all, including the local wildlife.

"We have a responsibility to our planet and we are proud to take up that responsibility."

Some homes at the site also come equipped with solar panels and EV charging ports.

The development is situated on Heaton Road at Kingsmere Village close to the M40 for easy access for commuters.

There is just one home remaining for sale at Hemins Place, the four bedroom Avondale, priced at £637,000.
