£3M Secured for East Hull Housing Development

Over £3m of additional funding has been secured from the Homes and Communities Agency to deliver a range of affordable housing on Preston Road, east Hull.

The funding has been secured from the national affordable housing programme by regeneration agency Gateway and Synergy Housing Solutions (part of the Chevin Housing Group). It will allow work to get underway on over 70 new eco-friendly homes the south of John Hadland park, between College Grove and Cambridge Grove.

The development will incorporate a mix of affordable housing aimed at helping existing residents remain in their local community, as well as encouraging others into the area.Properties will be available for shared ownership and affordable rent, including some elderly persons units.

This is Gateway's second new development in the Preston Road area and follows the successful Ellerby Grove scheme, where 107 new homes were built. All homes are now occupied.
