Keepmoat has begun work on a new site for 300 new homes at Northstowe. The homes will be constructed using a closed panel timber frame<\/a> technique<\/h2>\n

The building work will start at Stirling Fields after completing a Building Lease with Homes England. Housing stock will consist of one and two-bedroom apartments and a selection of two, three and four-bedroom houses.<\/p>\n

Affordable housing will be available at Northstowe<\/h3>\n

A range of tenures is available across the 300 homes. In total, 60% of tenures are affordable, including affordable rent, discounted market sale, and traditional market sale schemes.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing the exchange of contracts on the project, we\u2019re absolutely delighted that planning permission has been secured, and we can begin construction on Stirling Fields,\u201d said Adam Knight, regional managing director and Keepmoat.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an honour to have the opportunity to contribute to one of England\u2019s newest towns, particularly as it aligns so closely with our values in terms of sustainability, integrating modern methods of construction, and providing affordable homes to the people that really need them,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

The new homes will be constructed sustainably using closed panel timber frames<\/h3>\n

The development will support a low-carbon community lifestyle. The homes will be built using closed panel timber frame construction<\/a>. The apartments will be constructed traditionally with brick and block cavity walling.<\/p>\n

All housing stock has been designed in adherence with the Nationally Described Space Standard, using modern and sustainable construction methods<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to have been selected as the provider of affordable homes within this part of Northstowe<\/a>. We\u2019re looking forwards to finalising the arrangements with Keepmoat Homes, including the purchase of a commercial unit which will provide almost 200 metres of business space below some of the affordable homes,\u201d said South Cambridgeshire cabinet member for housing, Cllr John Batchelor.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also hugely positive how ourselves, Keepmoat Homes and Homes England, have worked in partnership to deliver a unique product in the form of Northstowe discount market homes, which not only provide affordable housing but will also help us as a Council invest in more affordable homes in the future,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

Northstowe residents will have access to a town centre, community spaces, sports pavilions and a heritage building. Smart metres, solar panels, cycle lanes and electric vehicle charging stations will be installed to ensure sustainable living in the town.<\/p>\n
