Ground-breaking ceremony held at site of new affordable homes
A ground-breaking ceremony has taken place at The Crescent in Orton Longueville, Peterborough, where works will soon begin to build four new affordable homes for Cross Keys Homes (CKH).
The £1million scheme, which has received over £300,000 grant funding from Homes England will provide two pairs of semi-detached homes consisting of two affordable rented and two shared ownership properties.
CKH Chief Executive, Claire Higgins, said: “We are very pleased to be working with Seagate Homes to develop this land into much needed affordable homes.
“While small in scale, this development represents a significant improvement in the area replacing an outdated and inadequate facility previously on site with high-quality, affordable homes that makes best use of the space, and will help provide long-term homes for the families that move into them.”
Adam Murfet, Managing Director from Seagate Homes, added: “We are proud to again be working with Cross Keys Homes on this project in Peterborough. Building high quality, affordable homes is something we are passionate about, and this partnership helps to meet local housing needs while contributing to a thriving community.”
CKH Assistant Director of Development, Nigel Lomax, was joined on site by CKH Development Manager, Jack Bass, together with Seagate Homes’ Managing Director, Adam Murfet, their Technical Director, Lee Russell, and Technical Coordinator, David Laidler.
These new homes will be ready for residents to move into them from springtime next year.
