Building and Acquiring Sustainable Homes
We aim to build and buy the right new homes in the right locations in our local area to ensure a mix of much needed homes designed to suit a range of needs.
During the year we invested £18.9 million in 206 new affordable rental homes for families and older persons in housing need. We completed new developments at Salters Lane, Sedgefield, Travellers Green, Newton Aycliffe, King William Court, Spennymoor and Southside, Ferryhill.
We are continuing to invest in, and learn from, new technologies including air source heat pumps which provide heating and hot water via a hot water tank, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, solar PV and increased thermal insulation / fabric efficiencies.
We will provide you with safe, warm, high-quality and energy efficient homes. More local offers.
