believe housing has received a Ministry of Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award for its unwavering support to the military community.
Work is now underway on a new housing development in Spennymoor, County Durham, where believe housing will provide more than a hundred homes.
A total of 187 new homes are being built Vistry North East, part of the Vistry Group, on an 18-acre site, just off Whitworth Road.
There will be a mixture of two, three and four-bed homes.
believe housing will acquire up to 111 of the homes and make them available for affordable rent, Rent to Buy and shared ownership.
This will include bungalows, which will suit older people and will be able to be adapted as people’s needs change, and a selection of two, three and four-bed houses.
The new homes will all have air source heat pumps, solar PV panels, electric vehicle charging provision and an improved building fabric – to ensure they are energy efficient and reduce carbon emissions and future costs for residents.
Tom Winter, Assistant Director of Development at believe housing, said: “This will be our largest project to date.
“We will offer a diverse range of homes for affordable rent, Rent to Buy and shared ownership, helping us to meet the differing needs of future customers.
“All properties will adhere to the standards outlined in our Future Homes roadmap, which sets clear ambitions to deliver homes around the core principles of energy efficiency, low carbon heating and renewable energy technologies.
“And importantly for believe housing, they will be the high quality, spacious, accessible, and energy efficient homes we know that people want to live in.”
