Forge New Homes has secured the finance through Homes England’s Home Building Fund and will use this to deliver 58 homes at its Welbeck Gardens site in Bolsover.

These will include a mix of three and four-bedroom homes and a proportion will be designated for affordable housing needs.

“SME housebuilders are essential to building the diverse and resilient housing sector the country needs,” said Simon Century, CIO at Homes England.
