Topping out ceremony at Anchor’s Nottinghamshire development
Not-for-profit later-living provider Anchor has celebrated the topping out of its newest affordable housing development in Edwalton, Nottinghamshire. The event was attended by senior Anchor personnel, Homes England, and Rushcliffe Borough Council. The development will provide 80 homes for rent, of which there will be 31 one-bedroom and 49 two-bedroom apartments available. Once open, the scheme will provide future residents with communal spaces including landscaped gardens and a seated patio area. Anchor’s executive director of
development, Oli Boundy, said: “The topping out ceremony at Edwalton marks an important milestone for both Anchor and the development. It will deliver much needed, high-quality, affordable accommodation to support older people in the local community. We would like to thank Vistry, Homes England, and Rushcliffe Borough Council for their support and co-operation in helping us reach this stage.”
Councillor Roger Upton, portfolio holder for planning & housing at Rushcliffe Borough Council, said: “Anchor has worked closely with the local community throughout the building of this development, which is a testament of its commitment to providing homes for later living that suit the demand and changing needs of the older population in our area.
I look forward to seeing the developing relationship between Anchor and their residents and witnessing the growth of a thriving older community.”
Lewis Young, senior manager – affordable housing delivery at Homes England, commented: “As the Government’s housing and regeneration agency, increasing the supply of quality affordable homes remains one of our key objectives and we are committed to supporting ambitious housebuilders of all sizes to build those homes and communities. “This investment through the Affordable Homes Programme does just that, enabling Anchor to build 80 much needed new homes the people of Rushcliffe can be proud of.”
New Stockport development reaches key milestone
A key milestone has been reached in the development of St Thomas’ Gardens – an intergenerational residential community in Stockport. The final slate has been laid on the
roof of the development’s highest point, marking a symbolic moment in the regeneration of a town centre site that has stood empty for over 15 years. The project has seen the repurposing a long- derelict Grade II listed hospital. Delivered by Stockport Council, with funding from Greater Manchester Combined Authority and Homes England, the St Thomas’ Gardens site will be home to the Centre for Living Well – an 82-bed intermediate care facility with eight supported housing units. The facility – one of the first of its kind in Greater Manchester - will support individuals who are discharged from hospital but are not yet ready to return home, as well as those who require short-term support to prevent hospital admission, helping them regain independence in a safe and supportive setting. It will also provide residential accommodation with attached support services for individuals who need help to live independently.
