electric systems. To celebrate the start of building work on the ‘turnkey’ devel- opment, the leader of Barking and Dagenham Council, Darren Rodwell, joined Daniel Brooks, development manager, from Be First and Kevin Parsons, director of Hollybrook, on site. The new development uses both public and private land to maximise housing delivery across the site. The turnkey agree- ment means that once Hollybrook completes construction, the council will take ownership of 149 homes, consisting of one, two, three and four bed homes, with 31 at London affordable rent, 47 at affordable rent and 71 at private rent. Daniel Brooks, development manager at Be First, said:
total of 149 new, “sustainably heated homes” are being developed by Be First, the regeneration arm of Barking and Dagenham Council, and developer Hollybrook Lim- ited. The JV has now started work on the £36.5m development, constructed on a former offi ce block site located south of New Road in Dagenham. The council-owned Transport House site, formerly home to Unite trade union, as well as the adjacent car park, will be transformed into brand new homes for residents, with undercroft parking also provided for the Premier Inn next door. These new ats will all be heated by air source heat pumps, meaning they will be more effi cient and cheaper to heat and reduce the development’s carbon footprint when the homes are in use. Air source heat pumps in a residential setting use up to 20% less CO2
A e than gas boilers and up to 70% less than
“We are pleased to be starting work on this project with our partners at Hollybrook. This project supports our mission to deliver 50,000 new homes across the borough. Hollybrook will deliver the overall development scheme with Be First (on behalf of the council) managing the development process to completion. “At Be First, we are creating places which everyone can be proud of and delivering homes that are sustainable, so we preserve our environment for future generations in Barking and Dagenham.” Cllr Darren Rodwell, leader of Barking and Dagenham Council, also commented: “I’d like to thank our partners at Hollybrook for working with us to secure this site. This is an excellent example of how we are making the most of mixed use land to deliver on our promises to provide much-needed high-quality, safe, well ventilated, and sustainably heated and affordable homes.”
£49m phase two in Waverley granted to Avant Homes
further 173 homes in Waverley, South Yorkshire, are set to be delivered by Avant Homes, with a £49m second phase development after being granted planning permission as part of the area’s regeneration scheme. Located just off Sheffi eld Parkway next to Avant Homes’ fi rst phase of homes at its Sorby Park development, the 12.5-acre site was acquired in December last year.

The site was purchased from Harworth Estates, and will be the fourth development at Waverley by Avant Homes, following Sorby Row and Sorby Village, which both launched in 2017. The wider Waverley scheme is Yorkshire’s largest ever brownfi eld mixed-use development. Once complete, the 740-acre site will comprise 3,890 homes, shops, restaurants, a primary school, and leisure and community facilities including parks and 310-acres of green open space. Called Sorby Park at Waverley, the new phase will comprise a mix of two, three and four-bedroom homes and feature 20 of Avant Homes’ design-led housetypes.
Of the 173 homes, more than 17% have been designated as affordable housing. Work is set to start on site this winter, with the overall build programme estimate to take approximately four years. The fi rst homes should be ready for occupation in September. Avant Homes Yorkshire managing director, Alastair Hart,
