Lovell signs GBP63.3m Dagenham homes scheme
Morgan Sindall Group plc announces that its Affordable Housing
division, Lovell, has signed contracts with the Greater London
Authority for a GBP63.3 million mixed tenure housing scheme at
Lymington Fields in the Chadwell Heath area of Dagenham.
The site, which once housed part of Barking Technical College in
the 1980s, is one of the first to be released by the Mayor of
London, Boris Johnson, as part of his drive to unlock development
on public sector owned land.
The scheme, to be built on the 12.8-hectare brownfield site,
will include 213 homes for private sale by Lovell, 104 homes for
affordable rent and 45 homes for shared ownership sale through
housing provider Home Group.
Construction work is expected to start at the end of summer 2013
with the development set to be completed by the end of 2017. All
homes will meet Level 4 of the Code for Sustainable Homes
incorporating energy-efficient features including photovoltaic
solar panels and high efficiency boilers. As part of its commitment
to leaving a lasting legacy in communities, Lovell expects to take
on a number of apprentices to work on the development.
John Morgan, Chief Executive of Morgan Sindall Group, commented:
"We are delighted to be working alongside the London Borough of
Barking and Dagenham to develop much needed housing in the region.
We have a strong track record working with government to unlock the
value and potential of under-utilised public sector land and we are
committed to delivering urban renewal in partnership with councils
and Local Authorities."
