Thirty new affordable homes provided in Crowland
Thirty new affordable homes have been provided in Crowland, Lincolnshire, thanks to the support of grant funding of £1.2m from Homes England.
The development known as Sundown Gardens located off Low Road has provided 14 affordable rented homes and 16 shared ownership properties and is a key part of our expansion plans.
The scheme has been completed in partnership with Burmor Construction providing 22 houses and eight maisonettes, and has been supported by South Holland District Council - helping to provide much-needed new affordable homes in the area.
It is one of a number of sites that we have developed with Burmor Construction in recent years.
CKH’s Chief Executive, Claire Higgins, said: “With the high cost of home ownership and many of those who are in private rented properties struggling to pay for their home, truly affordable homes are needed more now than ever before, and we are committed to ensuring we do all that we can to help. This scheme will hopefully be one of many we complete in the district over the coming years.”
We have a long-term strategic development plan that is supported by a strong business plan and funding and we are committed to investing wisely in the region to develop the much-needed local housing provision required. This site forms just one of many sites that we are developing in the eastern region.
Patrick Burke, Burmor Construction Director, added: “We are pleased to have completed another quality housing project in partnership with our client Cross Keys Homes, and hope the residents will enjoy living in the new properties we have built.
To celebrate the completion of works on the development site, resident Luke White who recently moved into one of the 3-bedroom shared ownership homes with his partner Hollie Gasson and their children, had a bouquet of flowers presented to them by CKH Assistant Director of Operations, Gemma Cook, CKH Development Manager, Jack Bass, Burmor’s Site Manager, Mark Turnbull and Burmor’s Assistant Business Manager, Jack Wycherley.
Luke said: “When our landlord wanted our old house back we were worried that we wouldn’t be able to find anywhere, then we came across the shared ownership scheme. We thought this was an amazing idea as it gave us a chance to get onto the property ladder and stay within our budget. So, we bit the bullet and went for it! The whole process was stress free, from the beginning filling out the application form all the way through to collecting our keys. It took all our worries away! And now we get to enjoy our beautiful new home with our family and that’s all thanks to being part of a shared ownership.”
