Plans have been submitted to convert a former care home into apartments to help meet demand for affordable homes in Leyburn in North Yorkshire.
Brierley Homes has joined forces with Broadacres Housing Association to draw up plans for Brentwood Lodge, a former local authority facility.
The scheme proposes creating 24 affordable apartments built to meet the Government’s Future Homes Standard.
Brierley Homes’ MD Stuart Ede, said: “Getting a foot on the housing ladder can be difficult, if not impossible, for some people. Schemes like the one we are developing with Broadacres Housing Association are one way of creating homes people can afford. This scheme offers housing that is future-proofed and fit for modern living, offering people in the local area a high-quality home.”
Broadacres’ director of development and investment Helen Fielding said: “We are pleased to be once again working with Brierley Homes to bring more, much-needed affordable homes to this part of rural North Yorkshire.
“The homes will be made available to local people, with the aim of ensuring that rural communities like Leyburn continue to remain sustainable for those who live and work in this beautiful market town.”
