that will make a real difference to residents’ living standards with brand new
apartments and the development of communal areas.

“The project will see us
make the most efficient use of the land, without disrupting existing amenities
in the surrounding area. It’s an exciting project, and we’re looking forward to
seeing the positive impact providing 100% affordable homes will have on the
local area.�
