Housebuilder and regeneration specialist Lovell has started laying the foundations for 27 new affordable homes in Nuneaton.

Working in partnership with Orbit Homes, Lovell will build 12 apartments and 8 houses at Bucks Hill and 7 more houses in neighbouring Burnaby Close.

The new homes and apartments have been part funded by the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) and will provide much-needed affordable homes on the outskirts of Nuneaton. They are being built to high quality and energy-efficiency standards, and will be exceptional houses for local residents. The properties, which will be managed by Orbit Heart of England, will be completed by March 2012.

George Obeng-Manu, Head of Construction for Orbit Homes, said: "This scheme will see the regeneration of the area and we’re looking forward to working with Lovell on this development."
