For more than forty years, Fairview's high standards and value-for-money have won recognition throughout the new homes sector. Our developments have received several top awards, including the coveted Which Home Housebuilder of the Year.
It is estimated that within the next 20 years, we will need over 5 million new homes to accommodate our ever-growing population. However, the amount of land available for building is limited, so it makes perfect sense to reclaim brownfield sites (existing urban land that has fallen into disuse) so we not only manage to convert derelict land into an attractive living environment, but we also preserve our precious landscape.
Implementing nature conservation policies means we can create wildlife habitats that safeguard our flora and fauna. At the same time, it provides a recreational environment that improves the quality of life for all concerned.
We have been involved in the reclamation of more than 200 brownfield sites in the last quarter century and over the years it’s given us much satisfaction to convert unsightly, potentially hazardous sites into exceptional living environments.
We are continually working in partnership with local authorities and English Partnerships to achieve long-term sustainable development for our generation and future generations.

TaylorWimpey's primary business is the development of sustainable communities of high quality homes in the UK, and in selected markets in North America and Spain. We have expertise in land acquisition, home and community design, urban regeneration and the development of supporting infrastructure. TaylorWimpey is a FTSE Top 200 company, and one of the UK's leading housing and development companies under its Bryant Homes brand. It also has significant interests in North America where it builds homes in Florida, Texas, California, Arizona and Toronto, a successful and growing housing operation in Spain and a construction arm.
Urban regeneration is a significant and growing part of our business, transforming areas of contaminated and derelict land into desirable places to live. Brownfield development helps preserve Greenfield land and improves the local physical fabric. In 2006 TaylorWimpey built 63% of its houses on brownfield land in the UK and 21% in North America. TaylorWimpey supports brownfield recycling strategies and sustainable remediation technologies wherever possible, and through this approach helps to tackle the historic legacy of contaminated land.
