Construction on an affordable housing scheme at Lickers Lane in Whiston is now complete, built by Seddon<\/a> for Livv Housing Group<\/a><\/h2>\n

The \u00a32.56m scheme comprises 28 new properties, including four one-bedroom apartments, plus 15 two-bedroom houses, eight three-bedroom properties and one four-bedroom home complete with an extension.<\/p>\n

The development was originally scheduled to complete in March 2020, but works were slowed by the initial impact of the coronavirus pandemic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Work was soon able to continue throughout the nationwide lockdown, with reduced labour, social distancing<\/a> and improved hygiene measures in place to protect everyone on site.<\/p>\n

Construction was completed in one phase, with Seddon leading on pre-construction works, including design, service diversions and plots built-in sequence to streamline access.<\/p>\n

As part of Seddon\u2019s commitment to local labour, subcontractors were hired from within a 25-mile radius of the site to complete the works.<\/p>\n

Seddon teamed up with Livv Housing Group to offer opportunities for apprentices, with one apprentice joining the team from S&K Brickwork in Liverpool as a bricklayer.<\/p>\n

A brand new community<\/h3>\n

Yvonne Westhead Fyles, director of development at Livv Housing Group, said: \u201cIt is testament to the hard work of our team and those at Seddon that we were able to complete work on the new community at Lickers Lane, in spite of the challenges that 2020 has brought us.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore works began, the site was home to a number of empty maisonette properties.<\/p>\n

“We recognised that there was an opportunity to make vast improvements that would not only benefit local residents but would help the community thrive, with much-needed, affordable, quality housing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Duncan Williams, divisional director at Seddon, added: \u201cOur team has worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic to ensure that Lickers Lane could be completed with minimal disruption to local people.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is our belief that people make places, so we are very proud that we were able to work closely with Livv Housing Group to transform what was once an underused piece of land into a brand new community that will be enjoyed for many years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

Consideration was given to existing residents on the adjacent land, with deliveries of materials arranged outside of school hours.<\/p>\n
