Habiko has received planning approval to deliver its first affordable homes on a site in Warrington town centre.
The partnership between Pension Insurance Corporation (PIC), Muse and Homes England, will deliver 240 affordable homes at Academy Way, which is owned by Warrington Borough Council. All of the homes will be offered at least 20% below local market rent.
Designed by AHR Architects, with landscape design by Gillespies, the development will provide low energy, low carbon homes for rent, close to shops, amenities and services. The new one- and two-bedroom apartments will be delivered across two six-storey buildings arranged around a central landscaped courtyard.
Sarah Chicken, senior development manager at Muse, said: “Habiko’s commitment to Academy Way will bring high quality, affordable homes to Warrington in an area with growing demand. We’re pleased that we can create a neighbourhood that makes a positive contribution to the local community, bringing green space and a strong sense of place for residents to enjoy and feel connected to.”
Stantec supported Habiko in preparing the planning application.
