£4M Barnoldswick homes scheme completed

Mulbury Homes have completed a £4M housing scheme in Barnoldswick, with 46 homes being developed on behalf of Housing Pendle, a member of the Together Housing Group.

The development is a mixture of two and three-bedroom terraced homes built on a 2.3-acre area of vacant shrubland that will be made available for affordable rent to local families.

The building contractor on the project was Harbur Construction.

Local businessmen and cricketer, Ian Scothern, who died earlier this year will be honoured by having the road leading to the development named ‘Scothern Close’.

Kevin Morris, Construction Manager for Mulbury Homes, said: “The craftsmanship and quality of the build on these properties is very high and they look great too.

“The local community has been incredibly supportive throughout the whole process and can be rightly proud of these new homes, which will help ease the demand for affordable housing in the area.”

Richard Hutchinson, Managing Director at Harbur Construction, said: “It’s always very pleasing to see a development take shape and then to see the homes completed and handed over to the customer.

“We’re pleased now that local families can begin moving in and benefiting from these energy-efficient affordable homes.”

Janette Taylor, Head of Housing Pendle, added: “These homes are a huge boost not only to the new occupants but to the local economy. There is a shortage of affordable homes across Pendle, but we are building quality schemes across the borough to meet this need.

“We’ll also be honouring Ian Scothern, a well-known local businessman and sportsman at our official street party opening on September 11th so the development takes on added significance.”

All of the homes in the project in Barnoldswick meet the Homes & Communities Agency’s design and quality standards, including Housing Quality Indicators, Secured by Design and Building for Life assessments.
