Vital social housing built in rural villages

Esh builder boomed new £ 800m on rural development to provide six new affordable homes in the town of Chatton in north Northumberland, with nine self-build plots. This method involves four bungalows and two parent family homes, all made available for social rent for hard requirements in the local area. David Halfacre, chairman of the Durham company Esh Property Services, said: "Providing much needed affordable housing in rural Northumberland is very important to us. "This is the third project we have recently involved in rural Northumberland and we have more in pipeline. "At Chatton we work together as a team to ensure the scheme with the local community. Work is progressing well and we look forward to handing over the keys to the ISO in October. ' The company expects to complete the job in October. All the new properties built using stone Chatton, to blend with the existing village and the wider local environment. It was developed to meet the standards in Government Code for Sustainable Homes Level 3 and all are equipped with a multi-fuel solid fuel stove. The National Housing Federation has found now has nearly 9,000 households in need of homes, new affordable rent in Northumberland. Many families will never be able to buy, because the price of the average home is 9.2 times the average wage in place now ... well above the wide-area 7.5 times the average wage.
