A LEADING developer of affordable housing is planning to bring its developments to North Yorkshire for the first time, having been allocated more than £8 million of public funding.
Westleigh is to build 270 new homes across North, West and South Yorkshire over a period of five years.
The company has been awarded funding from the Homes and Communities Agency, under the 2016-21 Shared Ownership and Affordable Homes Programme.
As part of its application for the grant, the Leicestershire-based developer has pledged to build 160 shared ownership properties and 110 Rent-to-Buy homes in the wider county.
Ian Jones, managing director at Westleigh, said: “There is an ever-increasing demand for homes that offer a route on to the property ladder. This funding offers vital support to projects which will make those homes a reality.”
