On Thursday 17 August representatives from Arun District Council, Hastoe Housing Association and Brymor Construction attended a handover ceremony in Bognor Regis, the site of the latest council houses to be built in Arun.
This is the second release of properties this summer, the first phase of council homes to be built since 1989. The Council is building a total of 33 new affordable homes which will be available for rent over the forthcoming months.
The council homes are newly built properties, located off Clarence road in the centre of Bognor Regis and consist of two, four bedroomed houses.
Built by Brymor Construction the homes will be let to people on the housing waiting list. The properties will be added to the Councils housing stock in order to replace some of the homes that have been sold under the Right to Buy.
Hastoe Housing Association Development Manager Javed Ditta, who is acting as the Council’s development agent, said “Hastoe are delighted to have helped play a role in delivering these new high quality, affordable homes for the people of Arun who need them most.
“Our role has included arranging pre planning site investigations, securing planning consent for the Council and monitoring the performance of the selected contractor to ensure the new homes are built to a high quality for the new residents.”
Craig Durman Head of Housing for Brymor Group said “It has been a pleasure to work alongside Arun District Council to restart their development programme. The complex nature of the site demonstrates Arun District Council’s promise to providing modern living accommodation for now and the future.
“The design of the units maximises the available land for development and the high-quality finish is testament to the commitment the management team here at Brymor, and also that of our supply chain partners. We very much look forward to continuing our working relationship with Arun District Council and bringing more homes to the local communities”
Cllr Trevor Bence, Cabinet member for Residential Services said “This is the second release of council houses being built in Arun in 28 years and continues the programme to see 33 new homes added to the Council’s property portfolio over the next two years. I am delighted that this development is now complete and ready to provide homes for Arun residents.”
