Building new homes and communities
Incommunities is proud of its track record in regenerating former housing sites to create new homes for local people.
On the edge of the city, work is nearing completion on 40 family-sized homes at Bolton Woods which will be released next month for affordable rent and through the Rent to Buy scheme.
Each home will have their own electric charging point and individual parking spaces. They also feature fully fitted kitchens and bathrooms. Bird and bat boxes will be fitted to the properties to ensure local wildlife flourishes in the area.
The development will transform a challenging sloping site which previously housed six hard-to-let blocks of flats.
Incommunities’ is delighted with news that a road at the development will be named after its long standing board member and former Bradford Council leader, Ian Greenwood.
Ian was an Incommunities’ Group Board member for a number of years and local ward councillor until he passed away in 2018.
Twenty-four homes for rent were completed at Bolton Woods in 2019 in an earlier phase.
Both phases of the development have been supported through Homes England’s Affordable Homes Programme.
Geraldine Howley, Incommunities Group Chief Executive said: " am delighted to see this development taking shape and welcome Bradford Council’s decision to name one of the roads onto the site in tribute to Ian.
"Ian was passionate about delivering good quality housing for everyone and served Incommunities, Bradford Council and the city’s communities with distinction.
"I look forward to seeing new tenants move into their smart new homes over the coming months."
The development complements exciting plans by developers and the Council to create an ‘urban village’ in the Bolton Woods area that is within easy transport access to the city centre.
The Incommunities’ scheme is being led by the group’s in-house development team, acting as the main contractor in a ‘first’ for a Yorkshire registered provider.
