Work To Start On New Housing Development In Telford
Construction work is to commence at Nuplace's latest housing development in Ketley Bank, Telford.
Telford & Wrekin Council and Nuplace Ltd are delivering a renovation scheme which will both preserve and enhance the historic character of the existing Victorian building by delivering a mix of both new build and refurbished homes at the development.
Around 1,350 people now live in Nuplace homes across 10 developments in Telford and Wrekin; providing a ‘home for life’ for residents. Ketley Bank will offer a further 28 one-, two- and three-bedroom homes, including bungalows, for both private and affordable rent.
The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) is investing around £450,000 into the scheme as part of its ‘brownfield first’ approach. This involves regenerating the region’s former industrial land and vacant urban plots for new homes and jobs, helping to protect the green belt in the process.
Properties have been designed to support the council's commitment to tackle climate change and include PV panels to the majority of plots and electric car charging points, helping tenants to reduce their fuel bills and at the same time reducing the scheme’s carbon footprint. It is estimated that a tenant of a 3-bedroom home at Nuplace's Southwater Way development could save as much as £900 per year in energy bills and reduce the building’s carbon footprint by more than 400kg of carbon emissions annually – the same amount of CO2 that’s emitted by driving 1,900 miles in a diesel car.
The new site, which is being delivered by Nuplace's building partner Lovell, will be available for tenants to reserve to rent from this autumn with homes ready to move into early 2025.
