Sustainable affordable housing development set for Old Stratford

Housing provider Stonewater has begun development, in partnership with contractors, Snowdon Homes, at a new affordable housing site in Old Stratford, West Northamptonshire.

Once completed, the scheme will consist of 32 affordable homes and is being produced in partnership with consultants Thornton Firkin, along with West Northamptonshire Council, Old Stratford Parish Council and Snowdon Homes.

A spokesperson said: "The scheme will be made up of a range of tenures to meet the varying needs of future customers. Properties available for social rent will consist of 8 one-bedroom houses, 4 two-bedroom houses, 5 three-bedroom homes, 3 four-bedroom houses and 2 two-bedroom bungalows. There will also be 4 two bedroom and 6 three-bedroom homes available for shared ownership.

"Sustainability is at the forefront of the plans for the site, with all homes due to feature air source heat pumps and solar panels (where elevation allows). All homes will achieve a high energy rating and will also benefit from electric vehicle charging points," the spokesperson added.
