MHProNews has learned from 24dash in the United Kingdom that low-income housing group Incommunities, in collaboration with construction specialists in the Netherlands, are wrapping up plans to build six modular homes in Manningham, to be sited on part of the Green Lane development property. Six modules will be needed to comprise a four bedroom home.

With funding from the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA), the project follows visits to the Netherlands by Incommunities senior development staff to investigate this type of housing. Sixty-four modular homes are planned on the site of old apartments at Green Lane.

Geraldine Howley, Incommunities’ Group chief executive, said: “We are really excited by the prospect of bringing this modern form of house construction to Bradford which offers shorter build times and efficiencies as well as cost saving. We are looking forward to working with iQwoning and Bradford Council to deliver this ground breaking project as part of our Affordable Homes Programme with the HCA.” ##
