The 拢12.6m brownfield-redevelopment scheme is being delivered in partnership with EMH Group and funded by Homes England. It includes one bedroom to four bedroom homes, all with rooftop solar and EV charging.
Environmental responsibility was central to the scheme. More than 60 tonnes of hard-to-recycle waste were diverted from landfill, while materials from the old site were reused wherever possible,聽demonstrating聽a circular approach to construction.聽Surplus offcuts from the development were donated to workshops at HMP Onley.
Five direct employees were hired for the build, alongside 30 roles within the supply chain. The scheme also delivered 312 weeks of apprenticeships and 52 weeks of accredited training, with work experience placements and site visits for local students to gain practical insight.
Abdul聽Mozzamdar, head of social purpose at Morro Partnerships, said:聽鈥淓mbedding social value into our developments is central to how we聽operate, and the London Road project is聽a great example聽of that in action.聽
鈥淭hrough this scheme聽we鈥檝e聽supported local employment, apprenticeships聽and skills training while also engaging with schools and colleges to inspire the next generation. At the same time,聽we鈥檝e聽prioritised environmentally responsible construction methods to reduce waste and maximise recycling wherever possible.鈥澛�
