Collaboration between developer and council delivers more than 1,500 homes
Housebuilder, Keepmoat, has completed its Amy Johnson development in Hull, a 485-strong housing regeneration project.
Working to support Hull City Council’s Hull Citywide Developer Partnership (HCDP), it has transformed the former Amy Johnson School site. The HCDP initiative aims to deliver around 4,000 mixed-tenure homes in Hull over a 13-year period.
Through its partnership with the council, Keepmoat has delivered a total of 1,526 homes over the last 11 years – including 207 affordable homes – created 57 apprenticeships and 703 local jobs.
Councillor Paul Drake-Davis, Hull City Council’s portfolio holder for regeneration and housing, said: “As part of the Hull Citywide Developer Partnership, Keepmoat has made a significant contribution to the council’s ambitious housing regeneration initiative by providing quality, modern, and energy efficient homes across all tenures in new, attractive neighbourhoods.
“Moreover, through its social value programme, Keepmoat has established itself as a much-valued partner in improving the city’s social, economic and environmental wellbeing, including, for example, helping to upskill our residents by creating jobs, apprenticeships, and by offering other training opportunities.”
The partnership has also seen the housebuilder transform 73 acres of brownfield land and invest more than £123,134 in community donations to support local groups across the Hull region.
Ben Hindley, land & partnerships director at Keepmoat, Yorkshire East, added: “We believe our responsibility goes beyond building homes. By prioritising our partnerships and community engagement, we deliver more than just new homes, we transform communities and improve the lives of local people.
“Supporting local people, engaging with residents and fostering collaboration with our partners allows us to make a real difference.
“We’re dedicated to ensuring every project we undertake contributes to a brighter, more sustainable future for everyone involved.”
