Loughborough-based contractor and developer William Davis Ltd has completed its latest affordable housing scheme in Rising Brook, Stafford.

The £3m scheme built across three former Stafford Borough Council garage sites on Morton Road, St Peter's Close and Hawksmoor Road, was developed by Stafford and Rural Homes (SARH) in partnership with William Davis and part funded by the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA). 

With project partners on hand to congratulate them, new resident Maria Zaynoun and her daughters Amira, (1), and Mayssa, (5), were given 'the key of the door' to their state-of-the-art new house, one of 31 affordable homes across the developments.

Richard Cornes, partnerships director, William Davis said: "It is always satisfying to see a project of this nature come to fruition so successfully and even more satisfying to be on hand to meet the people who will really benefit from the superb new homes.

"It is impressive to see how disused garage sites and infill plots of land can be transformed into a thriving new community which will eventually become a sustainable, sought after place to live."

SARH chief executive Karen Armitage, said: "Creating brand new homes to help young families like Maria's start out in life on a solid footing is what we have aspired to achieve since SARH began in 2006 and I'm delighted to welcome her and the other new customers on Hawksmoor Road into their new homes.

"Our new build housing project is about so much more than bricks and mortar, it is also about creating homes where families can put down roots, bring up their children, go to work and build supportive communities." 

Each property is designed to Lifetime Homes Standards and contains a mechanical ventilation heat recovery system, and gas saver on each boiler, achieving Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH) level 3 rating.
