Pochin signed up for social housing scheme

CHESHIRE construction group Pochin’s has agreed a £1m contract to provide housing in Winsford for the Liverpool housing association Plus Dane Group.

Its Pochin Homes division will build 13 houses and flats at the Bakers Lane development.

The 10,000 sq ft scheme will be made up of two and three-bed semi-detached and terraced homes as well as two-bed apartments.

Commercial director John Russell said: “This scheme is the culmination of months of hard work by all parties involved, to increase the amount of housing in the Winsford area. We are pleased to play a part in helping to bring this strategy to life and it is fantastic to be part of a project that will bring much needed affordable accommodation to the local community.

“Works are due to commence in early April and are scheduled to be completed by the end of the year. This further increases our commitment to working in partnerships with affordable housing providers, where our expertise and experience as private house-builders can be utilised, to ensure developments are completed on time and within budget, whilst at the same time continuing our own speculative housing developments.”
