Living Space

After a five-year planning delay, we’re thrilled to have commenced construction on 54 affordable homes in Leominster, Herefordshire, in collaboration with Stonewater. Paul Breen, Managing Director, said: “This project has come with real challenges since we first applied for planning permission over five years ago, so seeing spades in the ground is a great feeling. Working with Stonewater also means that once these homes are complete, we’ll be able to offer the community much-needed, affordable housing. “We’ve accelerated our pipeline of delivery this year, after a record 2023, and the new builds in Leominster will help strengthen this even further. We’re on track to deliver over 300 homes this year, that communities can be proud of.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gdZrYe3A #affordablehomes #newhomes #construction

We’re pleased to have secured full planning approval and completed on the land sale for our largest scheme to date - a new 79-home community just outside of Worcester – in collaboration with long-term partners, Stonewater.   Over 30% of this complex 6.7-acre brownfield site will be transformed into Public Open Space, creating a biodiversity net gain of over 20% 🌿   Paul Breen, Managing Director, said: “This scheme marks our fourth project with Stonewater and follows on from our mutual successful developments in Malvern, Bromsgrove and Kidderminster. As can be the case with brownfield sites, there are a number of technical complexities to overcome with this redevelopment, but these plans will ensure that we give this land a new lease of life”.   It’s going to be a busy year!
