Work to build more than 50 affordable homes in Irthlingborough has got underway.
The new housing development, which will be made up of 54 affordable homes, is being built on Addington Road in the town.
We’ll make the homes available for social rent, Shared Ownership and Rent to Buy.
Marcus Keys, Chief Development and Commercial Officer, said: “We know how important it is to provide more affordable housing to help tackle the country’s housing crisis, none more so than in this area.
“This development will create a new mixed tenure community and will help people to either take the first step towards owning their own home or have the chance to rent a quality and affordable property.
“It’s always nice to see work getting underway on a new site, and I’m looking forward to watching this one progress.”
The homes are being built by Morro Partnerships using a modern method of construction, which will see the timber frames constructed in factory conditions before being transported to the site and erected.
Marcus added: “We’re committed to exploring new methods of construction which can enhance the sustainability of our developments, so it’ll be exciting to watch the components of these homes go from the factory to the site and eventually become high-quality homes.
“We’ll work closely with our partners at Morro Partnerships to ensure that our plans become a reality and I look forward to welcoming our new customers to their homes as soon as possible.”
The development is being part-funded by Homes England through our strategic partnership.
Simon Preston, Managing Director at Morro Partnerships, added: “We’re delighted to be working with Amplius once again on this development which will see construction of well-designed homes built to a high standard to enhance the village of Irthlingborough.
“Together, we will deliver meaningful environmental, social and governance outcomes for this project to ensure we leave a positive legacy by creating employment opportunities, skills development and early career routes into the built environment sector, community interventions, and environmental cohesion.”
