                           Block Listing Application

Barratt Developments PLC ('Barratt') announces that it has made a block listing
application for the admission of 10,000 ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the
share capital of Barratt (the 'Shares') to the official List of the UK Listing
Authority and to trading on the London stock Exchange's main market for listed
securities.

It is expected that admission of the Shares will take place on 11 October 2007.

issued to members of the Wilson Bowden plc 2003 Savings Related Share Option
Scheme (the 'WB SAYE Scheme') who elect to exercise their options under the WB
SAYE Scheme during October 2007 as part of the consideration to which they are
entitled under the terms (as reflected in Wilson Bowden Limited's articles of
association) of Barratt's acquisition of the entire issued and to be issued
share capital of Wilson Bowden plc, which became effective on 26 April 2007 (the
'Acquisition').
