The City of Lincoln Council has selected Willmott Dixon for a £7 million project to deliver affordable housing for residents of Lincoln.

The development on site at Rookery Lane in central Lincoln includes construction of 42 new homes comprising 32 two to four-bedroom houses, four two-bedroom bungalows and six one-bedroom apartments. Procured through the Procurement Hub's Major Projects Framework and designed by John Roberts Architects, the scheme will ensure all homes exceed the recommended space standards and feature high energy efficiency levels.

Michelle Cotterill, director at Willmott Dixon, said: "We're pleased to be back in Lincoln at the Rookery Lane site, delivering much needed, quality, affordable housing for the people of Lincoln, while also supporting the City of Lincoln Council’s plans to respond to the 2019 Housing Needs Survey.

"Guided by our Now or Never Sustainability Strategy, we will be working with the residents of Lincoln across a range of social value initiatives that will increase communal, economic and environmental wellbeing in the region, while also delivering high energy efficiency levels throughout the scheme.

"This continues our long-standing relationship with the City of Lincoln Council, which has seen us deliver schemes such as the award-winning Lincoln Transport Hub. We're looking forward to working closely with all parties involved to deliver this scheme."

The new homes will be built using traditional construction methods but feature forward-thinking innovation including electric vehicle charging points for each house and a shared pay-as-you-go charging station between the apartments.
