Lovell Starts Work On £12m Derbyshire Housing Development
Lovell has revealed work is underway on a £12 million housing development in Derbyshire.
The contractor is building 47 homes on the edge of the Derbyshire Peak District in Chapel-en-le-Frith.
The news comes as Lovell announced its forward order book in the Leeds region has exceeded £61 million due to a number of new contracts with housing association partners and land-led developments across Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Humberside.
Work is scheduled to begin on developments in Greetham, north Rutland, and Branston, Lincolnshire, which will deliver a further 108 homes. Construction is also beginning on the next phase of a major housing regeneration programme at Ings, Hull.
Lovell is also currently building 33 homes for Leeds Federated Housing Association in Belle Isle.
Overall, the contractor expects to complete more than 200 homes, including open market sale properties and homes offered for affordable rent, in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Humberside during this year.
Lovell regional Managing Director, Robert Adams, said: "I'm delighted that the region has made such a strong start to the year.
"As a leading UK partnership housing developer, we have unrivalled expertise in working with our housing association and local authority partners to identify and deliver development opportunities which will provide the new homes the country needs so urgently.
"Our successful track record, financial strength and technical capability are increasingly reflected in our growing presence across Yorkshire.
"With the outlook for 2017 and beyond in the region looking extremely positive, we're committed to continuing to drive growth, working closely with our partners to bring further new homes to the market."
