Flaxby-based modular house builder ilke Homes has bought a site in Hastings to develop 140 affordable properties.
The 12.35-acre site already has outline planning permission and was previously owned by Hastings Borough Council.
Work is expected to start in autumn this year ahead of completion in 2024. A total of 84 homes will be ‘zero carbon’ and powered by renewable energy.
The company, which has 500 employees, builds homes at its factory on Flaxby Moor Industrial Estate near Knaresborough that are then delivered across the UK.
Tom Heathcote, executive director of development at ilke Homes, said:
“We have enjoyed working closely with Hastings Borough Council’s Estates Team and the local authorities planning department to bring forward our proposals for the site at Harrow Lane.
“Subject to the clearance of pre-commencement conditions, we are excited to commence on site later this year.”
Cllr Maya Evans, deputy leader and portfolio holder for housing at the council, added:
“We are very impressed with ilke Homes, who have gone above and beyond in ensuring 84 homes are zero carbon.
“This means the energy they use will be 100 per cent renewable, on top of fabric first sustainable building materials.”
