Work To Begin On £6.75m Housing Regeneration Project
Work is to begin on a £6.75 million housing regeneration project in Cambridge.
Keepmoat will work alongside Iceni Homes to deliver 50 new 'affordable' homes in Chesterton.
The project is being carried out for charitable housing association Hundred Houses Society and involves creating the Association's 'Eastfield' neighbourhood.
The regeneration involves improving properties with major upgrades to insulation and energy efficiency. While original site only included three-bedroom homes with large gardens, the regeneration has a mix of property sizes from one-bedroom apartments to three-bedroom houses, and also includes two-bedroom bungalows, one of which is fully wheelchair accessible.
Features of the regenerated neighbourhood will include shared green spaces, rain gardens, integrated cycle paths and off-street parking. In addition, high-quality insulation will be delivered including high-efficiency boilers, windows and doors.
Each property is designed to the 'Lifetime Homes Standard', helping to meet the needs of customers with limited mobility as well as letting people stay in their homes longer.
Mary Gibbons, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Hundred Houses Society, said: "We are pleased to be able to regenerate this neighbourhood in a way which reflects the needs of the customers both now and in the future. This is an exciting development which delivers more truly affordable homes for Cambridge."
Lovell regional director Simon Medler added: "This important regeneration project will create much-needed brand-new affordable properties, built to modern standards, with a strong focus on energy efficiency. Our team are extremely pleased to be bringing their expertise in delivering high-quality homes to this major scheme in partnership with Hundred Houses Society and Iceni Homes."
