Housing award for Boston Borough Council

Two top regional awards have been presented to Boston Borough Council for its work in connection with the development of Haven Court in the town.

The complex of 26 apartments and a town house received the affordable housing award and the regeneration award at the Royal Town Planning Institute’s East Midlands presentations held in Nottingham.

The council’s housing department nominated the Chestnut Homes and Waterloo Housing development for the Browne Jacobson East Midlands’ Affordable Housing Award.

Fiona Todd, housing strategy and enabling officer, and Trevor Thompson, senior planning officer, focused on the visual attractiveness of the development within its setting and as a catalyst for the regeneration of the area. Alan Oliver was the original case officer.

The scheme was a joint winner in the affordable housing award with North Kesteven District Council’s straw houses.

Fiona said: “This is Boston teamwork at its best.”

Haven Court has been developed on a brownfield site where the Haven Cinema once stood.
