Construction Begins on Affordable Housing in Chiddingfold

Construction has commenced on multiple new affordable housing developments across the UK, reflecting a growing commitment to address the housing crisis. In Leyburn, North Yorkshire, Yorvik Homes launched the Highfield Chase scheme, comprising 127 houses, which faced initial opposition but received planning consent in February 2023. Meanwhile, in Chiddingfold, Surrey, Waverley Borough Council is building 26 homes after demolishing older properties, with a focus on providing social rent, affordable rent, and shared ownership options to meet local needs. The new homes in Chiddingfold will also incorporate eco-friendly features to minimize carbon emissions and energy costs. Additionally, Vistry Homes is developing 137 houses in South Marston, with a significant portion allocated for rental housing, further emphasizing the importance of diverse housing options. These projects collectively aim to enhance community resilience and support local populations, particularly young families, in securing affordable housing.
