Affordable homes scheme under way at Poulton-le-Fylde

More than 100 affordable new homes are now under construction at Poulton-le-Fylde to meet local housing needs in the North West.

MCI Developments, a Keepmoat subsidiary, has partnered with housing provider Jigsaw Homes Group to deliver 106 affordable new homes.

The 9.56 acre site sits south of Brockholes Crescent and will provide the area with a mix of two-, three- and four-bedroom homes through affordable rent and rent to buy schemes.

The development will also enhance local ecological assets and provide new public open space for residents in the surrounding area after being purchased by the housebuilder in 2022.

Craig Murphy, regional managing director at MCI Developments, said: “We are dedicated to delivering long term improvements for the communities we work in, and this development will be no different as we look to upgrade local road infrastructure and provide new open space and a play area for local residents.

“We’re also excited to be bringing this scheme forward with NHBC, showcasing the improvements we’ve made in the quality of our homes in recent years.”

Jigsaw Homes secured grant funding from Homes England to support the delivery of the scheme which will greatly benefit the community in Lancashire.

Garnet Fazackerley, operations director of development at Jigsaw Homes Group, said: “We have a strong track record of delivering much needed affordable homes across Lancashire.

“With more than 500 homes already under way in and around Poulton-le-Fylde and the wider Wyre borough, we are pleased to be able to provide even more for local people in the area.

“Together with MCI Developments and Homes England we will help bring not just more quality homes to meet local housing needs, but contribute towards creating a thriving community.”

The new homes are due to be completed by 2026.
