On Friday 24 June, Hartlepool MP, Jill Mortimer, welcomed a new development of energy efficient, affordable homes in Greatham. Jill was shown around our development of 36 new homes situated off Field Lane in the village.
The homes consist of a mix of bungalows, available for affordable rent, and two, three and four-bed family houses all available for Rent to Buy, a scheme that gives our customers the chance to pay 80 percent of the local market rent for their homes, with an option to buy after five years.
All 36 of the homes have been built using Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF), a modern method of construction which, alongside energy efficient benefits, helps speed up construction.
This method of construction provides an instant double thickness of insulation that’s airtight, meaning the new homes have the potential to save residents up to 50% on their energy bills.
Jill Mortimer MP said: “I’m delighted to visit the development today and I’m very impressed by Karbon’s use of modern construction methods to make sustainable homes for the future which will also keep energy bills low for families and older residents.”
We worked with local development partner Gus Robinson Developments and specialist contractor Applebridge to make the scheme happen.
The development was supported with £2million funding from Homes England.
Paul Fiddaman, Chief Executive, said: “These new homes at Greatham are a real success story in our ongoing programme to deliver greener, more energy efficient homes. It’s a proud moment to see them completed and residents settling in.
“At planning stage, we were keen to design a development that meets the needs of the local community, outlining a mix of property types and sizes to provide options for residents at varying stages of life, and that’s what we’ve manged to achieve. We hope the new residents will be really happy here.”
