Bradford affordable housing scheme reaches completion

Manningham Housing Association (MHA) has completed a £3.9 million affordable homes development in Eccleshill, Bradford.

The One Meadow Victoria Road scheme comprises 19 properties – a mix of two, three and four-bed detached and semi-detached houses for social rent.

The newly constructed homes have been delivered through a partnership with Zentra Group and the support of Homes England and Bradford Council.

Each property is designed to be low maintenance and adaptable to future need. They come with fully integrated appliances including a fridge freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, oven and hob along with carpets and flooring.

Built by Jack Lunn Construction, the properties have a reduced carbon footprint and an expected minimum energy performance of rating B or greater.

Lee Bloomfield, MHA Chief Executive, said: “We are thrilled by the quality of the homes which are in an established local community with a robust identity and reliable communal services.

“The proximity to existing MHA housing stock and the high demand for housing in the area contribute to the long-term viability of the project for future generations.

“It has been a pleasure to deliver the scheme in close partnership with Zentra Group alongside Homes England and Bradford Council as part of our drive to address housing needs in Bradford and Keighley.”

Rupert Pometsey, MHA Chair, said: “We currently own and manage 345 homes in the area, which has a settled BME community and is a desirable place for tenants to call home.

“Together with our key partners on this project, I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to our dedicated staff, board members, investors and, most importantly, our customers.

“With their unswerving support, we are able to press on with our mission to provide high-quality, affordable housing solutions for the local communities we exist to serve.”

Ben Scandrett, Development Director at Zentra Group, said: “We are delighted to see the completion of the One Meadow development in partnership with Manningham Housing Association.

“This project represents our commitment to delivering high-quality, affordable homes that meet the needs of the local community.

“By working closely with our partners, we have been able to provide well-designed, energy-efficient homes that will have a lasting positive impact.

“At Zentra, we remain dedicated to creating sustainable housing solutions that support communities across the region.”
