Sheffield City Council joined our partners from Esh Group to look at work progressing at the £18.9m zero-gas affordable housing development at Newstead this week. The site, near to Birley Moor Road, will see 77 new homes spring up over the next couple of years. Designed by Peak Architects Ltd, the development will feature 36 one and two-bedroom apartments with communal gardens and balconies, alongside 41 two, three and four-bedroom properties with off street parking and gardens. All homes will be fitted with air source heat pumps instead of traditional gas boilers, as well as enhanced insulation and electric vehicle (EV) chargers. Cllr Douglas Johnson, Chair of the Housing Policy Committee, said: “Sheffield City Council is delighted to be pushing ahead with expanding our council housing offering for current and prospective tenants. “Our plans remain to build or acquire more than 1,000 council homes in the next five years – and partners such as Esh Construction are instrumental in helping us achieve this.” For more on the visit, head to the Esh Construction website: https://lnkd.in/eKnd8_Gn
