New homes
168 New affordable homes brought to our region
2023/24 has been an exceptionally busy period for the Development team, delivering 168 new affordable homes in areas across Cumbria and the North East with high housing need. Working with development partners, new homes were delivered in Carlisle, Longtown, Workington, Stainburn, Broughton Moor, Kendal, Cockermouth, Blyth, Cramlington and Wallsend with more homes on some of these developments planned for next year and on new sites in Wigton, Whitehaven, Aspatria and North Tyneside. Most of our new homes were for either social or affordable rent. Working with developers to add solar PV panels and smart batteries to homes to drive down energy costs for residents, all have met or exceeded the energy efficiency targets set by the CCHA Board. We are also delighted to have supported 18 households into homeownership options. We achieved planning approval for another mixed tenure scheme in the Lake District National Park, of 25 new homes in the village of Staveley. We continue to work closely with communities and partners to progress new developments and submitted planning applications for developments in Durham, Northumberland and Carlisle. Work started on site for our mixed tenure development in Gosforth, in the Lake District National Park, and we look forward to completing the 20 new homes in late 2024. We are excited to have new shared ownership homes that will shortly be available to buy in Stainburn, Gosforth in Cumbria, Blyth and Cramlington.
