With many young people giving up on property ownership altogether the pressure is on the rental market to deliver quality homes for affordable prices.<\/p>\n<p>In areas that are viewed as highly desirable, prices have rocketed. Ensuring local communities are able to stay within their area is vital, and affordable housing schemes are more important than ever.<\/p>\n<p>In Kendal, an area that is highly sought after, a new development is nearing completion. The scheme, which is being delivered by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twocastles.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span>Two Castles Housing Association<\/span><\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eshproperty.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span>Esh Property Services<\/span><\/a> as part of the Hadrian Development Solutions Partnership, will see 27 new affordable homes provided for people with a connection to Kendal or the surrounding area.<\/p>\n<p>The properties, which will available for rent through the Cumbria Choice letting schemes, was partly funded by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/organisations\/homes-and-communities-agency\" target=\"_blank\"><span>Homes and Communities Agency<\/span><\/a> (HCA) with support from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.southlakeland.gov.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span>South Lakeland District Council<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The development will consist of 14 two-bedroom houses and one two-bedroom bungalow. There will also be 10 three-bedroom, and two four-bedroom homes available to rent.<\/p>\n<p>The \u00a33.8m scheme was built using materials in keeping with the local area. Each home will be constructed to Code for Sustainable Homes Level 3 Standards. There will also be a number of energy-efficient features to keep bills affordable.<\/p>\n<p>Property Services Director at Two Castles Housing Association Rob Brittain said: \u201cThere is currently a real demand for quality affordable homes in areas serving rural communities across Cumbria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is why we\u2019re delighted that work is nearing completion on Windermere Road.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe development is sympathetic to the vernacular of the surrounding area, with each new home constructed using traditional building methods and materials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA number of special environmental features such as a bat roosting habitat have also been created onsite to help protect local wildlife.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorking with Esh Group as part of the innovative Hadrian Development Solutions Partnership is helping Two Castles to deliver more affordable homes in rural communities across the North West.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis scheme has developed a range of new homes that are relevant to the needs of local individuals and their families in vital need of quality housing in the area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Simon Phillips, Regional Managing Director, Esh Border Construction, which is part of Esh Group, said: \u201cThese are excellent new homes at Windermere Road. They are in a beautiful location sited on a slope with a \u2018staggered\u2019 layout either side of the new road which we have constructed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe homes, with their slate tiled roofs and roughcast finish, blend in really well with the countryside.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a great development which will provide much needed affordable housing in a lovely part of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Building affordable homes for local people remains a priority throughout the UK, in particular in areas where house prices have increased dramatically.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/democracy.southlakeland.gov.uk\/mgUserInfo.aspx?UID=66\" target=\"_blank\"><span>Councillor Peter Thornton<\/span><\/a>, Leader of South Lakeland District Council, said: \u201cBuilding more homes for people to rent is a top priority for South Lakeland District Council. This development will provide 27 much needed new homes in Kendal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe high quality build coupled with energy efficient features creates modern houses that will help future tenants keep their fuel bills to a minimum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a great example of partnership working which will provide new housing for our communities in South Lakeland.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Executive Director for the HCA Deborah McLaughlin also commented. She said: \u201cThis is a great opportunity to build affordable new homes is this area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis shows the benefits of our investment and partnership working in terms of the homes and opportunities that are being created here. I look forward to seeing the development continuing to succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While some will argue it does not go far enough to address the affordable housing issue, it is, at least, a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A multi-million pound project to deliver 27 new affordable homes in Kendal is nearing completion&#8230; The lack of affordable homes is a growing issue.
