Work under way on latest Stamford council homes

Work has started on four one-bedroom apartments in Stamford that will add to South Kesteven District Council’s housing stock.

The work is being carried out by D. Brown (Building Contractors) Ltd and, despite recent challenging weather conditions, the homes in Elizabeth Road are scheduled for completion in August this year.

SKDC’s Cabinet Member for Housing and Planning, Cllr Phil Dilks, said: “We recognise that housing need in Stamford is extremely high.

“There are currently 250 people on the housing register with a single bedroom requirement who want to live in the town and there are few options for those with this requirement and on a low income.

“Unfortunately, that means young people and families often have to move away from the area to find affordable housing. This makes it imperative that we provide more affordable housing options in this area.

“We are pleased to be providing more homes to meet the demand of specific groups of applicants on our housing register.”

Planning permission for the flats was granted in March 2022. The development comprises four one-bedroom, two-person apartments with landscaping and parking spaces.

The Managing Director of D. Brown (Building Contractors) Ltd, Mr Adam Mayer, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have broken ground on this exciting development.

“Working in partnership with South Kesteven District Council, the scheme reinforces our commitment to building much-needed affordable homes within the District, building on last year’s success at our Trinity Road development, also in Stamford.

“We very much look forward to showcasing this project as works progress.”
