Lovell Partnerships has commenced construction of a new £15m development in collaboration with Hive Homes – the first partnership between the two organisations.
Roedeer Gardens will bring 81 much-needed homes to Seedfield, Bury delivering a significant boost to housing provision in Greater Manchester and helping to meet the targets set by local authorities.
Located on the site of the former Seedfield Centre, a former school and domiciliary centre, the development will comprise 60 three-bedroom and 21 four-bedroom family homes.
The development includes 21 affordable homes secured via a Section 106 agreement. Of these, six three-bed houses will be transferred to a registered provider for shared ownership. Nine will be transferred to Bury Council for affordable rent, and six four-bed houses will be part of the government’s ‘First Homes’ scheme, offering discounted properties to first-time buyers.
Roedeer Gardens also prioritises sustainability, with homes constructed with timber frame method, designed to Part L standards and targeting an SAP A/B rating. Energy-efficient measures include photovoltaic (PV) solar panels on roofs and utilising a heat exchanger mechanism.
