CKH gathers with partners as new homes get underway at new Uffington Road development
We've come together with regeneration specialists, Vistry Partnerships East Midlands and South Kesteven District Council, to celebrate the start of development works on the former Mirlees Blackstone site in Stamford.
The development, named 'Stamford Gardens', will consist of 60 affordable rented and 67 shared ownership homes for CKH, with Vistry Partnerships housing arm Linden Homes providing 73 homes for open market sale. The site promises to be a significant development for Stamford.
Our Chief Executive, Claire Higgins, said: “We are very pleased to be working with Vistry Partnerships to develop this land and provide the much-needed affordable homes for local people under this agreement.
“CKH has a limited stock within Stamford, and this new development will add significantly to our presence within the district, which in turn supports our long-term strategic development plans to provide much-needed affordable housing provision across the region.”
Andy Reynolds, Vistry Partnerships Managing Director for the East Midlands, said: “This is a large mixed tenure development opportunity for us in Stamford and we are thrilled to be able to partner with CKH to bring sustainable new homes to the area.
“We look forward to working with South Kesteven District Council to bring high-quality homes to Stamford and are delighted to finally be underway on site.”
CKH’s Director of New Business Development, Gary Norman was joined on site by his New Business Development Manager, Claire Moloney, Clerk of Works Manager, Jason Vernalls and Quantity Surveyor, Sulemaan Altaf. Together with Vistry Partnerships’ Managing Director for East Midlands, Andy Reynolds, Land & Development Director, Greg Wood, Operations Director, Ryan Woolley, Business Development Manager, Paul Hanley, Operations Manager, Richard Plowman, and Site Manager, Darren Leather alongside South Kesteven Cabinet portfolio holder for Planning and Planning Policy, Councillor Nick Robins.
South Kesteven Cabinet portfolio holder for Planning and Planning Policy, Councillor Nick Robins said of the visit: “SKDC welcomes the delivery of affordable housing in our district, increasing housing options for residents whilst supporting our Corporate ambitions.
“Our planning policies aim to provide quality housing that meets the needs of all residents and with the allocation of these new homes we look forward to supporting those in housing need”
