Work starts on 158-home scheme in Hornsea

A new housing development is underway in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

Housebuilder Keepmoat has begun work on a 158-home scheme on Rolston Road, Hornsea, in partnership with social housing provider Together Housing. 

Bosses say the £25 million investment will bring a mix of affordable rent, shared ownership and private sale homes to the area, with 84 of the properties designated as affordable housing.

They add that the scheme aims to support the long-term growth of Hornsea by creating a sustainable new community and improving housing accessibility for local residents.

Daniel Crew, divisional chair at Keepmoat, said: “It’s a pleasure to be working with Together Housing on our latest development in Hornsea.  

“With over 50 per cent of the homes having already been pre-sold, we’re pleased to be delivering much-needed housing stock to the local community.  

“Alongside this, we’re proud to be investing over £450,000 into the local area to support schools and sports facilities, demonstrating our commitment to building not just homes, but thriving communities.

“This is a fantastic example of how Keepmoat unlocks land to deliver real benefit and we’re excited to be investing in Hornsea’s future.”

Dai Howells, assistant director of development at Together Housing, added: “We’re proud to be partnering with Keepmoat on this exciting new development in the East Riding of Yorkshire which will deliver high-quality, affordable homes. 

“Together, we’re committed to meeting Hornsea’s growing housing demand while supporting the community’s long-term growth and supporting those who are being priced out of the current market, to live and work in this growing community. 

“Our aim is that this new neighbourhood will offer more than housing, it will become a vibrant, supportive community that brings people together and provides lasting benefits for generations to come.”

As part of the plans, Keepmoat will also contribute £260,000 to enhance local schools and provide £195,000 towards improved outdoor sports facilities.
