Caddick Construction has secured a £13.9 million contract to deliver 54 new family homes at Owlcotes Road in Pudsey. The development, being built on behalf of Leeds Federated Housing Association, marks the first collaboration between the two organisations.

The project will feature a mix of one, two, three, and four-bedroom properties, designated for a combination of affordable rent and shared ownership. Sustainability is a core focus of the design, with each home set to include air source heat pumps, solar PV panels, and electric vehicle charging points to help residents reduce energy costs and carbon footprints.

Caddick Civil Engineering, the contractor's specialist subcontracting arm, will handle the associated groundworks. This appointment strengthens Caddick's residential pipeline across Yorkshire, which currently includes active sites in York, Wakefield, and Hull.

Steve Ford, Regional Managing Director of Caddick Construction North East & Yorkshire, commented: "Our appointment to Owlcotes Road reflects our continued commitment to providing high-quality, affordable homes across Yorkshire, supporting local housing needs and creating lasting value for residents.

"As a registered partner of the Considerate Constructors Scheme, we're committed to being a respectful neighbour, ensuring our activities are carefully managed and that we communicate openly with the local community throughout the project. From the outset, we've worked closely with Leeds Federated to put in place a robust construction environmental management plan to minimise our impact during the build."

The scheme is supported by funding from Homes England via Accent Housing's Strategic Partnership. In addition to the new housing, the site layout includes the creation of dedicated green spaces for residents.

Georgina Nijjar, Head of Development at Leeds Federated, added: "The development at Owlcotes Road, once completed, will provide new affordable homes in Pudsey. The homes are being designed to be energy efficient and sustainable. Each home will include energy saving features to help support residents to minimise energy costs and reduce the carbon footprint.

"We are working closely with Caddick Construction on the delivery of this site. As the project progresses, our focus will be on building high-quality homes while minimising the impact on those already living nearby."
