Strata and Great Places exchange contracts to deliver affordable homes in Doncaster
Housebuilder Strata has completed on contracts with Great Places Housing Group to deliver 53 new affordable homes at Lutterworth Drive in Doncaster, marking a step forward in the partnership between the two organisations.
The homes, which will be available for social rent, will be built on land allocated for housing in the local plan. Historically unused, the site will now be transformed into a residential community featuring bungalows, semi-detached and terraced homes, all meeting national space standards.
The 53 affordable homes will offer a mix of one, two, and three bed properties. Central open green space has been integrated to support community wellbeing, and a single-access road has been designed to create a safe and neighbourly layout.
The scheme is supported through Homes England Strategic Partnership 2 funding.
Rob Larkin, Pre-Construction Director at Strata, said: “Completing contracts with Great Places marks an important milestone in bringing high-quality, affordable homes to Lutterworth Drive. Our partnership reflects our shared commitment to creating well-designed, sustainable communities that meet real local needs. We look forward to delivering these homes and contributing to the long-term growth and regeneration of Doncaster.”
In line with Strata’s sustainability commitments, all homes will deliver improvements above the 2021 Part L Building Regulations. High-efficiency gas boilers, PV panels, and Waste Water Heat Recovery Systems will contribute to reduced carbon emissions and improved energy performance.
Nick Gornall, Director of Growth at Great Places, added:
“This scheme represents an excellent example of how partnership-led delivery can accelerate affordable housing across the region. Our partnership with Strata will deliver 53 much-needed affordable homes for social rent in Doncaster. The development will provide high-quality, accessible homes that support a range of needs within the community. We look forward to working closely with Strata as the project progresses.”
The surrounding area will benefit from significant contributions to support local open space, and the development has been carefully designed to blend with the established residential character of Lutterworth Drive and neighbouring communities, including Warneford House nursing home.
Construction will commence following final preparatory work, with both partners committed to delivering a high-quality, inclusive development that contributes to Doncaster’s long-term housing needs.
Strata continues to strengthen its relationships with Registered Providers, using partnership-led delivery to broaden its land pipeline and support strategic growth across the North and Midlands. For more information about Strata’s strategic partnerships, please visit: https://partnerships.strata.
