Work is well underway to develop 22 new homes in Sandwell

Work is well underway on a new £3.8m development of 22 new homes in Sandwell.

The site has already been cleared and foundations are being installed at Little Moor Hill in Smethwick.

There will be 11 shared ownership homes and 11 affordable rent homes developed at the site.

The homes will be a mix of two and three bedroom homes.

Our Director of Development, Richard Whittaker, said: “It’s fantastic that work has started in Sandwell which will bring some much-needed affordable homes to the area.

“The development will allow us to satisfy the different needs of people in the area by offering both affordable rents and shared ownership.”

“We have teamed up with developer TC Homes for this development and we are looking forward to seeing it progress.”

Work on the development is expected to be finished by June 2020.

Richard attended the site with Councillor Joanne Hadley from Sandwell Council and representatives from TC Homes to mark the progress of the development.

Councillor Joanne Hadley, Sandwell’s cabinet member for homes, said: “It’s fantastic news to see that more affordable homes are being built in Smethwick.

“We are always looking to find innovative ways and opportunities to increase the number of affordable homes in Sandwell whether by building new council homes ourselves or working with partners such as Citizen. This scheme is a welcome contribution towards our target.”

Tim Charnley, Director at TC Homes, adds: “It’s great to be working with Citizen on this project in Little Moor Hill.

“The range of homes will offer affordable options for future residents and will be finished to a high standard.”

Our Little Moor Hill development is close to Smethwick town centre, parks and sports facilities.
