This scheme is complete!

The new housing development, completed under the Council House New Build Programme, has delivered 12 new council homes for affordable rent. The scheme is being funded by Sandwell Council with grant funding from Homes England.

The project management was undertaken by the council’s internal Urban Design & Building Services Team and programme management through Housing Partnerships. Construction was delivered by Seddon Construction Limited.

The properties will be managed by the council and allocated in accordance with the Housing Allocations Policy. All homes have now been advertised through Choice Based Lettings and successfully allocated.
