In Hull, Lovel (as part of Compendium Living) is starting work on a £9.3m scheme to build 68 homes in the Ings area. The project forms the latest phase of Compendium Living's major regeneration programme, in partnership with Hull City Council.

Regional managing director Robert Adams said: "The company continues to win work across the region thanks to our focus on long-term partnership working coupled with our ability to bring forward land for development and create high-quality new homes across a range of tenures, from affordable housing to properties for sale on the open market.

"We're delighted to have been appointed to these important projects for Clarion Housing Group and Compendium Living, which will each deliver much-needed new homes.

Lovell expects to build over 200 homes in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Humberside as a whole during 2017."
