We’re proud to be working with Wokingham Borough Council on its flagship regeneration scheme at Gorse Ride, creating a modern, sustainable community for local residents. The project will replace outdated 1970s pre-fabricated homes with 249 high-quality properties designed to meet today’s needs.
Our new homes feature high levels of insulation and low-carbon technology such as air source heat pumps, helping to cut emissions and reduce energy bills. This approach supports the borough’s ambition to lower its carbon footprint while tackling fuel poverty.
The development includes a mix of homes to suit local demand, with several designed for residents with enhanced accessibility needs, including wheelchair-friendly layouts and level-access showers.
Beyond building homes, we’re committed to making a wider impact. Our social value programme has included school and college engagement, charity partnerships, student site visits, job centre placements and community activities such as wellbeing walks and summer events. We’ve also provided training and employment support to help residents develop skills and access new opportunities.
Together, we’re building more than homes – we’re building a stronger, more connected community.
