The project, which is being delivered for housing provider Stonewater, recently received planning approval from Bromsgrove District Council.

The development will comprise 60 one-, two- three- and four-bedroom homes to suit single households and families of varying sizes.

All homes will be fitted with air source heat pumps and solar PV roof panel to make them energy- and cost-efficient and to achieve an A EPC rating.

Parking will also be provided for both future residents and visitors. 

The first properties will be available to move into during 2023.

Paul Breen, managing director at Living Space (pictured above, left), said: “Stonewater’s future residents will benefit from homes that self-generate a proportion of household electricity which, when combined with the air source heat pumps, will significantly minimise grid energy use.

“In addition, EV charging points will be installed as standard, enabling solar energy to be used to power cars too.

“These outstanding homes will be fit for the future, while combining the kerb appeal of traditional architecture.” 

Matt Crucefix, director of development (West and South) at Stonewater (middle), added: “We’re pleased to be working with Living Space again to bring this important development to life and enhance the provision of varying types of affordable housing in Bromsgrove.

“There is a substantial unmet housing need within this area, with many people who work in the district commuting in. 

“By installing air source heat pumps and solar PV panels, all future residents will be able to significantly reduce their carbon footprint. 

“Across all our new developments, we’re looking for ways to cut carbon emissions to support our sustainability commitments, but also to ensure we’re providing energy-efficient, comfortable homes that are affordable for our customers.”
