Housing Plus Group completes landmark £2.5m regeneration scheme in Telford
Housing Plus Group has completed a £2.5 million regeneration scheme in Telford, marking a significant milestone in its ongoing commitment to investing in communities and delivering high-quality affordable homes across the region
The development, at the Ley in Dawley, has replaced five ageing bungalows with 16 new, energy-efficient homes for social rent, including a specially adapted property designed to meet specific accessibility needs.
Delivered in partnership with R1 Construction, the scheme provides a mix of one-bedroom and two-bedroom bungalows, helping to meet growing demand for high-quality, affordable homes in Telford and Wrekin.
A significant milestone for the development has been the allocation of the purpose-built adapted bungalow to an Armed Forces veteran, ensuring they have a home tailored to their individual needs and enabling them to continue living independently within their local community.
Martin James, Development and Regeneration Manager at Housing Plus Group, said:
“Welcoming residents to The Ley is a fantastic moment and marks the culmination of years of planning and partnership working.
“This development has been designed to provide high-quality homes that meet a range of housing needs, and we’re particularly pleased that the specially adapted bungalow will provide a long-term home. Supporting members of the Armed Forces community is an important part of our commitment to ensuring everyone has access to a safe, secure and suitable home.
“It’s incredibly rewarding to see a new community beginning to take shape and residents enjoying the benefits of modern, energy-efficient homes.”
Ben Tomkinson, Managing Director at R1 Construction added:
“Reaching this stage is a fantastic achievement and a testament to the strong partnership between R1 Construction and Housing Plus Group. Transforming a previously underused site into a development that will serve the community for years to come has been incredibly rewarding for the whole team.
“The scheme has presented an opportunity to deliver a range of new homes, including a purpose-built adapted bungalow designed to meet the individual needs of its future resident. We’re particularly proud to have worked closely with Housing Plus Group to deliver a home that will enable an Armed Forces veteran to live independently in accommodation tailored to their requirements.
“As the latest of three successful developments we’ve delivered in Dawley, this project demonstrates the positive impact that continued investment can have on local communities. We’re proud to be playing our part in the area’s ongoing regeneration and helping to create lasting impact for local residents.”
The regeneration of The Ley forms part of Housing Plus Group’s wider commitment to investing in communities and providing affordable homes that are fit for the future. Built to modern energy-efficiency standards, the new bungalows will help residents reduce household energy costs while benefiting from comfortable, accessible living spaces.
