A total of 24 affordable homes are set to be built in Ardwick, Manchester after plans were given the go ahead by Manchester City Council.
The plans were submitted by Eden Planning on behalf of local housing provider Jigsaw Homes Group and will be built on land at the junction of Devonshire Street and Coverdale Crescent.
Jigsaw acquired the vacant site from Trafford-based regeneration specialists Peel Waters in conjunction with Manchester City Council.
There will also be off-street parking, as well as seven parking spaces and 28 cycle spaces and landscaped areas. It will offer high levels of energy efficiency to ensure low running costs for residents.
The homes, which will be available for social rent, will be allocated by Manchester City Council to meet local housing need as part of the Single Homeless Accommodation Programme (SHAP) and residents will receive tailored support through Jigsaw Support to help them on the path to living independently.
Funding for the development comes from Homes England and the Department for Levelling Up, Homes and Communities.
Garnet Fazackerley, Operations Director of Development at Jigsaw Homes Group said: “We have a strong track record of delivering quality, affordable housing and we are pleased to have acquired the land from Peel Waters so we can transform this unused site into more much-needed homes. We are looking forward to working with Manchester City Council, Homes England, DLUHC and our partners to bring this scheme to life.”
