Thirty new council homes have gained planning approval in Eastbourne on three different sites within the Borough all designed by the Hunters architectural team.
The exciting design programme includes a contemporary town centre block of apartments - with the inclusion of solar panels and a sedum roof it will meet level 4 of the code for sustainable homes. They are to be built on three Local Authority owned sites which are currently underutilised and providing sub-standard accommodation.
Working for the partnership arrangement between the council and AmicusHorizon, Hunters are providing a mix of housing types to suit current and future family needs.
The funding is part of the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA), Round 2 funding of its Local Authority New Build Programme. The funding will see over 1,900 new council homes built, many of which will be larger family-sized homes. Priority was given to schemes offering high energy efficiency standards and they meet this challenging criteria.
