The new development, off Hazel Road, will provide 151 affordable homes including 106 for affordable rent, 30 for shared ownership and 15 for Rent to Buy.

Built by Miller Homes, the new houses will be a range of one, two, three and four-bedroom homes, all owned and managed by Vico Homes.

David Bagnall, Development Manager at Vico Homes, said: “We’re excited to partner with Miller Homes and proud to be delivering more than 150 affordable homes in one go, when they’re needed more than ever.

“These homes will help local families put down roots in a home they can afford and create a new, vibrant community. We’re on a mission to deliver 10,000 affordable homes over the next decade, and partnerships like this are key.”

Plans expected for 290 more homes in Wakefield village

Justin Tranmere, Managing Director at Miller Homes Yorkshire, said: “Forming a partnership with Vico Homes to deliver this development of affordable homes, demonstrates our commitment to building communities across our region.

“We are pleased to be able to support Vico Homes in their quest to deliver their visionary targets, vital to allowing our communities to grow and prosper.”

Vico Homes secured grant funding from Homes England, the Government’s housing regeneration agency, to support the delivery of these new homes.

The development is expected to be completed in December 2028 with residents moving in shortly after.
