A new build housing estate
based in Monk Bretton
Project Details
- Year Built: 2023
- Location: Barnsley
- Client: Monk Bretton Council
A council-owned, Local Plan allocated site situated off St Michaels Avenue in Monk Bretton, being developed to provide a mix of houses, bungalows, and apartments in Barnsley. The project will be developed in a mixed-tenure scheme, creating homes for social rent, shared ownership, and private rent.
As environmental consciousness continues to grow, the construction industry is increasingly adopting eco-friendly practices and materials to reduce its ecological footprint, something this project has adopted into its design. Sixteen of the new properties are low carbon, constructed with sustainable features and energy saving technology including air source heat pumps instead of mains gas.
Working in partnership with Esh Construction, this is a local collaboration as reinforced by Divisional Director, Stuart Leslie, who said:
“As a local contractor, we will aim to maximise the social and economic benefits to the community by procuring a local supply chain, employing a local workforce, and delivering key social value initiatives in the area. We are excited to get work underway.”
