The $1.70m scheme will be delivered in partnership with Friday Club Developments and the project is aiming to receive $329.65k Homes England grant funding
Work is set to start on a 100 per cent affordable housing development in Derker this month. The Flint Street estate will encompass six four-bedroom family homes equipped with green technologies to cut customers’ carbon emissions and energy bills.
The houses will also have waste heat recovery pumps to produce low-cost renewable hot water, to help keep fuel costs down for residents.
All the homes will be an affordable rent and let in conjunction with Oldham Council, according to borough housing association, First Choice Homes Oldham (FCHO).
The £1.3m ($1.70m) scheme will be delivered in partnership with Greater Manchester-based property developer, Friday Club Developments and the project is aiming to receive £252k ($329.65k) Homes England grant funding.
The project team also includes Oldham-based Employer’s Agent, Whiteley Eaves Ltd.
Joel Owen, FCHO director of development said: The new homes at Flint Street contribute to our strategy to deliver 700 new, high quality, energy efficient properties in Oldham and surrounding areas, between now and 2026.
They will help us meet housing need today and provide sustainable homes which are fit for the future, he said.
We’re pleased to be working with Friday Club Developments on their first affordable housing scheme and transforming a vacant, brownfield site to provide more much needed affordable housing in Oldham, he further said.
Tony Houlihan, a director at Friday Club Developments added: Our entire ethos is built on fairness and quality. We believe in creating homes that work, with space to live.
He said: We are thrilled to be working on such an important project, in collaboration with FCHO, to design and build high-quality, affordable family homes.
