New development

Building work is underway on 5 new affordable homes in Thetford for former rough sleepers. Breckland Council has gifted the land – a former school car park on Elm Road, Thetford.

We are also building 7 new affordable houses on Ketts Hill, with partners Norwich City Council.

Grant funding for both schemes has come from Homes England via the Rough Sleeper Accommodation Programme.

Up for awards

Our Canary Quay project (top and below left) in Norwich has won ‘Best Use of Steel Technology’ in the Offsite Awards 2022. The awards celebrate outstanding examples of offsite construction design and technology. Canary Quay was also a finalist in the Social Housing Project of the Year and Client of the Year categories.

Executive Development Director Andrew Savage said:

“We’re extremely pleased to win this award. It highlights the exciting work we’re doing in partnership with RG Carter and Sigmat at Canary Quay.”

Meanwhile, our Lakenfields scheme (below right) was shortlisted in the RTPI East of England Awards for Planning Excellence. Thanks to close working with Norwich City Council, the planning team were able to get consent quickly. The apartment block was built in 3 days using a modular construction, helping us to build affordable housing quickly to address homelessness in Norwich.
