Work Starts To Develop New Homes In Skelmersdale

Construction News Image
Construction work has started to develop 50 new homes in Skelmersdale.

Contractors working for Tawd Valley Developments (TVD) have begun site preparation work.

Hoardings will this week go up around the site on Fairlie in Birch Green which will deliver a mix of semi-detached and terraced houses, plus 2 storey apartments and bungalows. The homes are being developed for the company's owner, West Lancashire Borough Council, and will be available for rent to local people.

"This is our largest and most challenging scheme to date and will make a significant difference to the quality of life of residents when the homes are completed," said TVD's managing director Mark Kitts.

"Our focus is on delivering high-quality, energy-efficient homes that suit the needs of different members of the community, which is why there are a mix of housing types in the development. There'll also be wider improvements as part of the development, including enhanced pavements and a new access road with additional residents' parking."

The low-energy homes will benefit from dual zone heating, double-glazing and electric car charge points, as well as light and spacious accommodation.

The £8 million development is being constructed by contractor Whitfield & Brown, with the first phase of works focusing on infrastructure such as the access road, ground works and drainage.

Construction is expected to last twelve months.
