“Originally, this site at The Furlongs was planned to deliver homes for shared ownership and affordable rent. However, with our commitment to building genuinely affordable homes, and our partnership approach with Persimmon, we have been able to change the tenures to include delivery of 32 social rented homes.

“We’re also delighted to see the shared ownership homes on this site being reserved off plan, helping new customers with an affordable route into home ownership.”

Grand Union provides homes for more than 27,000 people across Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire and Hertfordshire. It plans to build 900 more new homes over the next three years to play its part in ending the housing crisis.
