Countryside Partnerships kicks off Doncaster scheme
Work has started on a new development of 86 family homes at Jossey Lane in Scawthorpe, Doncaster.
Countryside Partnerships, part of the Vistry Group, is building the homes on land formerly owned by Skanska.
Edmund Place will comprise 45 homes for sale under the group’s Linden brand with a further 41 being developed for The Guinness Partnership and available for affordable rent.
A new vehicular and pedestrian access will be provided from Jossey Lane with a Green corridor to run alongside the main entrance road. Views are being retained to the Trans Pennine Trail on the west side of site and the site entrance is close to the pedestrian link to the Trail which links to Route 62 of the National Cycling Network.
Andrew Poyner, managing director of Countryside Partnerships Yorkshire, said: “It’s great to see work commence on this fantastic new community which will enhance the area and make use of land which has been vacant for some time. We’re delighted to be working with Guinness again after the significant regeneration project at Fox Hill in Sheffield which is due to complete in the coming weeks.”
Kevin Williams, group director of development and commercial services at The Guinness Partnership, said: “It’s great to see work underway on this site. This is one of a number of contracts we are currently running with Countryside Partnerships across the country to deliver affordable housing and we’re pleased that work has started, bringing us a step closer to delivering more affordable homes for rent in the Doncaster area.”
