The Acis Group and Hodgkinson’s Builders are transforming a former Lincolnshire County Council social services site in Louth into 47 affordable homes in partnership with East Lindsey District Council and Homes England.
The Council has committed £198,500 capital funding towards the development to provide additional one-bed properties to help meet the identified need. The scheme consists of:
• 10 one-bedroom houses
• 17 two-bedroom houses
• 6 one-bedroom bungalows
• 4 two-bedroom bungalows
• 10 three-bedroom houses
30 of these properties will be provided for rent and 17 as shared ownership (part buy, part rent).
Councillor William Gray, Portfolio Holder for Communities and Better Ageing, said: “I am delighted to be working closely with Acis Group, which is a fantastic charity that makes a real difference to a lot of people’s lives across the Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and South Yorkshire.
“As a Council, it is a pleasure to be able to be a part of this project, and work with our partners in providing some fantastic, affordable housing in Louth for future residents to enjoy.”
Sarah Smaller, Business Operations Manager at Acis Group, said: “We believe that everyone deserves to have the security of a decent home and we pride ourselves on offering a wide range of housing options, including homes for rent and the opportunity for home ownership. Regent Place really showcases these options.
“Working together with Lincolnshire County Council, East Lindsey District Council and our communities, we aim to continue to grow the support we offer. We’re excited to offer these beautiful homes for local residents.”
The properties are due to be completed in Spring 2025, with the initial units programmed to be handed over next June.
