Stonewater completes 148 low-carbon affordable homes at Glenvale Park

Stonewater has completed nearly 150 new low-carbon affordable homes at Glenvale Park in Wellingborough.

The 148 homes, delivered by United Living and Briggs & Forrester Living Housing, were supported by £7m from Homes England as part of a £23m project. 

The scheme offers a mix of one- and two-bedroom flats and two-, three- and four-bedroom houses for affordable and social rent, Shared Ownership and Rent to Buy.

All houses have air source heat pumps and there are communal electric vehicle charging points. Glenvale Park will eventually have 3,000 homes, with 675 available below market rates. 

The wider development will include two primary schools, a nursery, shops, a community hub, over 200 acres of parkland, and a business park.

Jennifer Bell, development manager at Stonewater, said: “We’re proud to see these high-quality, energy-efficient homes completed at Glenvale Park. 

“This development offers much-needed affordable housing options in Wellingborough, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and futureproofing. 

“We’re excited to welcome our new customers and help them settle into a thriving, well-connected new community.”

Rhys Bevan, environmental sustainability business partner (development) at Stonewater, said: “While we know the efficiency and affordability benefits of the low carbon heating systems we have chosen for Glenvale Park, we also recognise that these off-gas solutions are new to many of our customers. 

“That’s why we’re providing support and advice to help them make the most of their heating systems, a key part of Stonewater delivering sustainable and customer-focused homes.”

Kevin Morris, national construction director at United Living new homes, said: “We are delighted to have completed work at Glenvale Park, creating high-quality, affordable new homes that will provide a welcome housing boost to the local community”.

Tom White, electrical operations manager at Briggs & Forrester Living Housing, said: “We are proud to have worked with Stonewater to deliver the full plumbing and electrical package for these ambitious low-carbon and energy-efficient homes.”
