The company set to build almost 200 homes near Trowbridge is set to host residents to inspect the plans.
Barratt Homes Bristol, is set to host a pre-launch event for their latest development in Wiltshire, Platinum Place, on Thursday, April 24.
The event will be held at Emmanuel’s Yard, Church Street, Trowbridge, from 4pm to 7pm, and will give potential buyers and local residents the opportunity to find out more about the new community of 187 new homes set to take shape off Elizabeth Way.
Platinum Place will offer a mix of two, three and four-bedroom homes to the area, designed to suit a wide range of buyers including families, professionals, and first-time homeowners.
The company added that 30 per cent of the new homes will be affordable, with a mixture of affordable rent and shared ownership properties available.
Those attending the pre-launch event will be able to view the first homes being released, learn more about the buying process, and speak to Barratt’s Nominated Mortgage Advisor for free guidance and financial advice.
Andrea Pilgrim, sales director for Barratt Homes Bristol, said: “We’re excited to be launching Platinum Place in Trowbridge, delivering new homes that respond to local demand and offer something for everyone.
“This event will give people a first look at the homes planned for the site, and the chance to speak to our team and mortgage advisor about how to take the next step.”
Set within almost five acres of open space, the development is less than two miles from the centre of Trowbridge, and a short distance from Hilperton Marina.
With 238 new trees being planted, swift boxes, bat boxes and hedgehog highways installed throughout the development, and other ecological enhancements, Platinum Place will see a biodiversity net gain of almost 10 per cent on site.

The latest update on this development comes weeks after two other companies building other developments.
Neighbouring Bellway Homes’ Weavers Meadow development, also on Elizabeth’s Way, has seen more than 30 homes already built, the housebuilder confirmed.
The company is currently delivering 151 properties on a 19-acre site off Elizabeth Way in Hilperton, around a mile from the town centre.
Tim Lund, sales director at Bellway South West, said: “Our site team at Weavers Meadow is making excellent progress as we move towards an anticipated construction completion date of next year.
“The demand for the new homes has been extremely high, particularly from families attracted by the wide choice of primary and secondary schools located within close proximity of the development.
“The location overall is proving a major draw for buyers. Weavers Meadow is conveniently located within walking distance of the shops, restaurants and bars of Trowbridge town centre, has good road links via the A350 and M4, and is also a short drive from Trowbridge railway station.”
Alongside both of these major developments is another significant project, being constructed by Persimmon Homes.
The firm recently told the Times that work on the Highfield Gardens development on Hilperton’s Elizabeth Way is now well underway, and that it expects the development to be completed by 2027.
The site, which was granted detailed planning permission in March 2024, will be transformed into 68 new homes, including 20 affordable properties.
In a statement to the Wiltshire Times, a spokesperson for Persimmon said: “We are delighted with our swift progress at our exciting Highfield Gardens site in Hilperton, where we look forward to delivering 68 high-quality, new homes for local people at an affordable price.
