Doncaster-based housebuilder Keepmoat is to build 115 new homes on seven acres of land in Milton Keynes – 50 of which will be built to the anticipated Future Homes Standard.
The £21.5m project is due to be completed in March 2026, and will include multiple types of housing for residents at the site to be named Haworth Place, including much-needed affordable housing stock through a local housing association.
The Future Homes Standard legislation update, due in 2025, requires all new homes to reduce 75 percent of the carbon emissions, and is set out to replace traditional
Building Regulations for new dwellings.
Ian McFaul, Interim Regional MD at Keepmoat, South Midlands, said: “We’re thrilled to be regenerating this underdeveloped piece of land in Milton Keynes to deliver 115 high-quality, multi-tenure homes for the local area, including much-needed affordable housing options. The project is also creating a raft of new local jobs, training and apprenticeship opportunities, further boosting the local economy and the industry’s future workforce.
“As the project continues into the next phase, it’s extremely rewarding to see the
excitement about the plans to deliver these homes in this fantastic new town. We’re also
proud to be delivering homes featuring anticipated Future Homes Standard technology
ahead of the Government-enforced delivery model set to come in next year – a further
step in our mission to create sustainable communities for the future.”
