Doncaster Council has officially received a new collection of affordable homes at the Nutwell Grange development in Armthorpe, as part of a housing partnership with housebuilder Persimmon.

Deputy Mayor Glyn Jones and Councillor Majid Khan visited the site this week to mark the handover of eleven one-bedroom bungalows being transferred to the council. The properties are scheduled to welcome their first residents at the end of July.

Located east of Doncaster, Nutwell Grange is a 162-home development, with 31 of those properties designated as affordable homes. In addition to the bungalows, a further 20 homes are being transferred to another housing provider to support affordable living in the area.

Deputy Mayor Glyn Jones highlighted the significance of the new homes for local residents, said: "Demand for housing, especially affordable housing is very high in the local area and these homes are part of a wider development with community at its core.

"Working with partners like Persimmon to deliver homes for our residents is just one of the many actions the City of Doncaster Council is taking to create much needed homes, alongside our other incredibly successful programmes."

Joel Frank, Land Director at Persimmon Yorkshire, said: "Nutwell Grange is delivering high-quality new homes for many local families. These homes reserved for housing associations is a key part of our broader goal to create a positive and lasting legacy wherever we build."
