Lovell Set For £3.44m Oxford Homes Scheme

Lovell is set to build a £3.44 million development of new council homes in Oxford.

The 38 new homes for Oxford City Council will be built in Lambourn Road, Rose Hill, and will consist of 16 three-bedroom and two five-bedroom houses as well as 10 one- and two-bedroom flats and 10 two-bedroom bungalows.

The new properties will meet Level 4 of the Code for Sustainable Homes. Homes will be built using a timber-frame system and will incorporate other sustainable features including air source heat pumps and photovoltaic technology.


The development, which is being built with funding from the Homes and Communities Agency, is set to be completed by March 2011.

Graham Bourton, Head of Oxford City Homes, said: "The Lambourn Road development will be a great addition to the community. We are pleased that the new homes will offer a high level of sustainability."

Lovell is working with the City Council to offer construction training placements for local people on the new housing development.
