Lovell has been chosen by the Syniad Consortium to work on its £150 million development framework in Wales.

Syniad - which comprises Wales & West Housing Association, Linc-Cymru Housing Association and the Pennaf Housing Group - is set to embark on a major programme to build new affordable, energy-efficient housing across North, South and Mid Wales.

Anne Hinchey, Chief Executive of Wales & West Housing Association, said: "The Syniad Consortium is delighted that Lovell is a key part of our £150 million development framework.

"Building more quality, affordable, sustainable social housing across Wales has never been as important as it is now, given today's very challenging economic climate. Working together, we are stronger."

The framework will operate across 16 local authority areas in Wales to deliver new homes and provide construction skills training and job opportunities.

The new housing will include super-green homes which meet Level 4 - exceeding the Welsh Assembly Government's minimum standards - of the Code for Sustainable Homes, the system for assessing the environmental performance and energy efficiency of new housing.
