Developer hands over new homes in Telford

Living Space Housing has handed the first tranche of homes over to Accord Housing at a new development in Telford.

A total of 26 affordable homes are being constructed at the 1.3-acre brownfield site, which has a project development value in excess of £3.6 million.

All of the homes on the development are being delivered for affordable rent. The development land neighbours Hadley United Services Bowling Club and was previously used as a camping and caravan centre. The scheme is the result of partnership working with Telford and Wrekin Council, which received £884,000 funding from Homes England.

Paul Breen, commercial director at Living Space Housing said: “Delivering handcrafted new homes while keeping everyone socially distanced and safe has been no easy feat.

"All the project team is delighted with the quality of the street scenes that have been created here, which has regenerated and brought new life to this brownfield site. Having handed over the first tranche of homes, we are now working at pace to complete all the remaining works, so that all 26 affordable homes can be ready for occupation. ”

Living Space Housing secured planning consent from Telford & Wrekin Council in late 2019 to develop the 14 two and three-bedroom houses and 12 one and two-bedroom apartments.
