Avant Homes is constructing 20 new homes for WDH at Hay Green Park in Birdwell, near Barnsley, after agreeing a £3.5m deal with the social housing provider.
The partnership demonstrates Avant Homes’ ongoing delivery of its multi-tenure strategy. This is the second deal the housebuilder has secured with WDH, with a package of S106 and Homes England grant-funded affordable homes.
Avant Homes’ multi-tenure strategy seeks to maximise housing supply through the provision of quality new homes for private sale, the private rental sector (PRS) and additional affordable housing.
Construction of the new energy efficient homes at Hay Green Park is well underway. The housing mix being delivered comprises two- and three-bedroom semi-detached homes and two-bedroom terraced homes.
The first homes will be handed over to WDH before the end of this year, with all the homes expected to be completed by summer 2026.
Avant Homes and WDH recently announced its first deal, which will see the housebuilder construct 118 new homes for the social housing provider across South Yorkshire after agreeing a £21m deal.
Commenting on the partnership deal, Avant Homes group head of affordable housing delivery, Phil Lacey, said: “We’re very pleased to have secured this second deal with WDH and provide new affordable homes in Birdwell.
“Our Hay Green Park development has proven extremely popular, showing the high demand for practically designed, energy-efficient homes within the local area.
“WDH’s affordable homes will not only help contribute to growing the development’s vibrant community, but also provide homes for the people who need them most.
“Creating long-term partnerships with social housing providers is a key part of our multi-tenure strategy’s vision. Our latest deal with WDH is evidence of this and we look forward to continuing to work with them to deliver quality new homes for everyone.”
At present, Avant Homes has secured a near term pipeline of more than 500 affordable homes to be delivered across 17 developments. This is in addition to 600 Section 106 affordable homes which are currently under construction.
The housebuilder’s new homes typically have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of B or above, which is considered excellent for energy efficiency.
Hay Green Park is being delivered by Avant Homes West Yorkshire. The regional operating business currently has six live developments ranging from Odette’s Point in Keighley to Sorby Park in Waverley.
Avant Homes West Yorkshire is part of the Avant Homes Group, which operates across the north of England, Midlands and Scotland from eight regional operating businesses.
Joel Owen, service director of development at WDH, said: “We’re pleased to be working
again with Avant Homes, continuing to grow our partnership, adding to the 118
affordable homes we already have planned together in South Yorkshire.
Partnerships like this are key to providing more high-quality, affordable homes
and creating vibrant communities."
