New partnership to boost affordable housing in Leyland
Onward Homes will partner with national housebuilder Keepmoat to create 45 new, affordable homes in Leyland.
As well as delivering affordable, high quality and energy-efficient homes, the scheme will also create additional public open space and pedestrian and cycle links near Bannister Lane in Leyland, South Ribble.
The new development will provide a range of three- and four- bedroom homes available through shared ownership and for social rent through Onward. The new homes will expand on Keepmoat’s successful development at Farington Mews, which saw Onward delivering homes for affordable rent and shared ownership.
Stephen Heverin, Growth and Regeneration Director at Onward, said:
“We’re pleased to be building on our existing relationship with Keepmoat and look forward to helping more local people put down roots in the area at Bannister Lane.
“Farington Mews has been a fantastic example of strong partnership working to deliver really positive outcomes for local people. We are excited to further improve the quality and choice of affordable homes in the area, as well as enhancing local amenities.”
Peter Barlow, Regional Managing Director at Keepmoat, North West, said:
“We’re delighted to continue our partnership with Onward Homes to deliver another fantastic scheme, designed to reflect the demand in the area and meet local needs in South Ribble.
“This partnership reflects a unified vision of ambition and careful planning to deliver a great place to live. We’re also extremely grateful to our partners at Turley Planning Consultants, who have supported us in progressing this site.”
