Building commences for energy-saving dwellings in Wolverhampton
In a significant stride towards affordable housing and environmental care, the City of Wolverhampton Council's housing development team, in collaboration with Morro Partnerships, is set to construct 24 new homes in Low Hill. The diverse mix of detached houses, bungalows, and flats, catering to various family types, will offer options with two, four, and five bedrooms.
The project, supported by a £1.74m grant from Homes England, is expected to deliver long-term benefits for Low Hill and beyond. Tom Broadway, the managing director (West Midlands) at Morro Partnerships, is responsible for delivering the high-quality, energy-efficient new homes.
The innovative approach of using timber frameworks for the construction of these homes not only reduces carbon footprint but also enhances energy efficiency, potentially helping to mitigate future energy bill rises. The first timber frames for the homes have already begun to appear on the site in Low Hill, which is located at the rear of Old Fallings Crescent, as designed by BM3 Architects.
Councillor Steve Evans, deputy leader of the council and cabinet member for city housing, expressed delight at the progress of the project, stating it will provide opportunities for Wolverhampton residents. He commented on the development, expressing his belief that it will help provide much-needed affordable housing in the local area.
Morro Partnerships, known for their successful refurbishment projects, including the Bushbury Triangle Centre, are also working towards regenerating underused land in Low Hill through this development. The properties will be built near open spaces and community facilities, ensuring a comfortable living experience for the residents.
This scheme by Morro Partnerships further strengthens their investment in environmental care and social infrastructure, demonstrating their commitment to creating sustainable, affordable, and community-focused housing solutions in Wolverhampton.
