The £22.5 million development aims to help meet the pressing need for affordable homes for people in Horsforth
Leading housing provider Stonewater is working with regeneration specialist Vistry Partnerships to develop The Fold: a mix of family houses and flats for social rent, shared ownership and ‘rent to buy’.
Initially, blueprints for the development were kicked back and forth between developers and Leeds city councillors, with many elected members raising concerns around the designs. Speaking on the start of construction, Chris Montague, director of development at Stonewater, said: “We are pleased to have started groundworks at this exciting new scheme.Work has started to construct 152 affordable homes on the former Leeds City College campus in Horsforth.
As part of Stonewater’s commitment to developing homes which are not reliant on fossil fuels, all the homes will benefit from the installation of air source heat pumps and solar panels, rather than traditional gas boilers.In addition, the homes have been designed to accommodate homeworking and feature a dedicated work area. All the houses will benefit from secure private gardens, while the flats will share a communal garden.
