The development offers a range of properties, including two-, three-, and four-bedroom houses, alongside two-bedroom bungalows and one-bedroom apartments. These high-quality homes are designed to meet the growing needs of the community and will be rented to individuals and families on the council’s housing waiting list.
Designed with sustainability in mind, the properties incorporate modern measures to support energy efficiency and reduce utility bills for residents. Features include air source heat pumps, photovoltaic solar panels, and electric vehicle charging points.
Councillor Ray Nock, Leader of Sandwell Council, expressed his satisfaction with the project, stating: “I am pleased to see these new homes built to very good modern standards. They will provide much-needed affordable homes for people on Sandwell’s housing waiting list, and they are part of our wider programme of building new council homes.”
Councillor Ken Parsons, Sandwell Council’s Cabinet Member for Housing, added: “These properties provide homes that contribute to tackling the housing crisis. They also help build a stronger, more inclusive community with adapted properties helping to address tenants’ specific needs.”
Josh Skidmore, Co-Founder and Co-Managing Director at TR Partnership Homes Ltd, highlighted the collaborative effort: “We’re delighted to have worked in partnership with Sandwell Council to deliver these 15 high-quality new council homes at Hawes Lane. This development is a great example of how effective collaboration can create much-needed affordable housing that meets the needs of local people, while also delivering homes that are energy efficient and built with the future in mind.”
He further commented, “We’re proud to have played our part in delivering a mix of homes that will provide safe, comfortable and sustainable places to live for individuals and families. We look forward to future opportunities to work with Sandwell Council to support the delivery of high-quality affordable homes for local communities.”
