RDF Building Services has delivered a new housing delivered in Leeds.

The developer worked in partnership with the city council to transform the former Lord Cardigan pub site in Bramley, which was demolished as part of the council's derelict and nuisance programme in 2012.

The 'Cardigan Green' development comprises of eight two-bedroom homes, featuring triple-glazing and high levels of insulation to improve energy efficiency, as well as gardens and allocated off-street parking.

The council has now purchased the new homes as part of its aims to provide 1,000 new 'affordable' homes in the coming years.


RDF Building Services' Managing Director, Michael Brearey, said: "Everyone at RDF is extremely proud to have been involved with the scheme that was developed and completed in partnership with Leeds City Council. We were assisted and supported by Adrian Dean, principal regeneration officer for Leeds City Council, who exceeded his responsibilities to ensure that the tenants were able to get the best home possible."

Cllr Richard Lewis added: "A development like Cardigan Green perfectly demonstrates what the housing growth scheme is all about, taking a former derelict brownfield site and transforming it into high-quality new homes to offer attractive affordable housing in our communities.

"Working with local developers as well as building new homes ourselves, we want to see many more such developments completed across Leeds in the coming months and years."
