Forge New Homes and Caddick Construction have officially started on site of the new 98-home The Hedgerows development in Pilsley, North Derbyshire.

Marking the key date with an official ground-breaking ceremony, the seven-acre scheme is situated near Clay Cross and Chesterfield and due for completion in summer 2023. The development will also offer 30 much-needed affordable housing and shared ownership homes within a mix of two, three and four bedroom properties, including bungalows.

The £12m project, led by Forge New Homes, was made possible through a Joint Venture between five Sheffield housing providers – Great Places Housing Group, the Guinness Partnership, South Yorkshire Housing Association Together Housing, and Yorkshire Housing. The housing associations own and manage 150,000 homes across the UK.

Peter Paige, Caddick Construction Contract Manager for the scheme, said: “The Caddick team is delighted to be starting on The Hedgerows project that will provide high quality housing for both the private and affordable housing markets. Caddick Construction is probably more associated with building large commercial developments than homes, but our residential division has seen huge growth over the last 18 months and the Pilsley scheme is a perfect example of how co-operation between like-minded housing providers can make a real difference within local communities.”
