Housing association Curo reveals its Clutton development is complete and is fully occupied

Bath-based and locally operating housing association Curo has released photos of its latest development completed in Clutton.
Curo began the work at Highbury Fields in 2018 and all the homes are now occupied.
Most of the homes (22) were let at social/affordable rent or sold through the Shared Ownership scheme to local people, and Curo delivered almost twice the number of affordable homes required by the planning consent, including one home adapted for people with disabilities.
In addition, four homes were let at market rent and ten were sold on the open market, creating an integrated development with a wide range of housing tenures for the local community.
Curo Chief Executive, Victor da Cunha, says: "We've always said that if we found a way to deliver more affordable homes on this site, we would. New housing, and in particular, new affordable housing in rural areas, is essential to ensuring our market towns and villages continue to thrive."
Curo secured more than £336,000 funding from Homes England to help deliver additional affordable housing on the site.
Victor added: "In Clutton, like many other villages in our region, young people and families are constantly being priced out of the housing market. Building new homes in these areas means more people have an opportunity to remain close to their support networks.
"What's more, housebuilding brings much-needed investment in infrastructure, leisure and education facilities, and creates jobs – helping to revitalise local economies."As part of the development, Curo contributed more than £360,000 towards the local school, youth services, road infrastructure, bus services and green spaces in the village.
