Council transforming garage site into 'much-needed family homes'
Work has started to build three new 'high-quality' homes on a site formerly occupied by under-utilised garages in Ringmer.
Councillor Mark Slater, Cabinet Member for Social Housing and Tenants, said: "I'm delighted that work is starting on this high-quality council development that will provide much-needed homes for local families on the housing register.
"Converting brownfield sites like this into small bundles of homes is a winning formula and we are looking to redevelop more underutilised garage sites in this way across the district."
The three-bedroom homes will be constructed to exacting energy performance specifications including solar PV systems to generate electricity, keeping running costs low for residents.
They are being built by Boutique Modern as part of a four-year framework agreement to deliver council homes across Lewes district.
Founded in 2009, Boutique Modern specialises in high-quality, sustainably built, affordable housing that is manufactured offsite at its factory in Newhaven before the completed homes are transported and installed onsite, reducing the impact on the environment and build-time of developments.
Scheduled for completion by winter 2025, the new homes in Broyle Close will feature two allocated parking bays per house, plus a visitor's bay and four unallocated parking bays.
