Construction News Image

Kier Living has secured land to develop private and affordable homes in Devon, Norfolk and Northamptonshire.

Through the sites, Kier Living will deliver over 900 homes and support the Government’s aim to deliver vital new housing.

The largest of the three developments is Hardingstone in Northamptonshire, which will provide 750 homes in total, with 180 of these being affordable. Kier Living has been working in partnership with Homes England for the past two years to progress this development which spans 48 hectares that will also provide a range of community facilities, including a new primary school and a commercial centre.

In Thetford, Kier Living will deliver 130 homes, which once again will blend private and affordable homes. Works will start in July 2021 with the first set of homes available from December 2021.

The third site that Kier Living has acquired is in Wrangaton in Devon, which will provide 36 private and affordable homes. This is an important development for Kier Living, as it is looking to acquire further land in the south west to support the Government’s housing ambitions.

Mike Coker, operations director for Kier Living, states: "We are pleased to have taken important steps forward on these three sites, which will provide vital new homes and support the Government’s build, build, build strategy.

"As we start work on each of these sites, we will create local employment and work collaboratively with our skilled and trusted supply chain partners to deliver quality homes."
