A ribbon cutting ceremony marked the completion of 40 new energy-efficient modular homes for affordable rent on a former derelict site on Cripps Avenue in Peacehaven. The development has been completed by a partnership between social housing provider Stonewater and Boutique Modern Ltd., the UK’s first modular construction company to gain B Corp certification, with support from Lewes District Council. Naomi Mooney, Development Manager for Stonewater, says: "We’re incredibly proud of this development and the opportunity it has given us to provide a high number of wonderful homes for customers while reducing the impact on the environment of constructing much needed new affordable homes. It’s wonderful to see the site complete, with our poppy sculpture providing a lovely focal point, and to know that not only are customers benefitting from warm, high-quality homes but that they are already seeing a reduction in energy bills too." Dick Shone, Managing Director at Boutique Modern, adds: "It's been fantastic to collaborate with Stonewater on this project, a company which has similar ambitions to us regarding sustainability and social value. There are so many reasons why we need to embrace modular construction. It’s a greener choice, generating less waste and boasting a smaller carbon footprint than traditional methods, and Cripps Avenue is a great example of how low-impact modular housing can make an architectural statement as well as improving communities and people’s lives, without hurting the planet." https://lnkd.in/enFk82Nw #newhomes #modularconstruction #modularhomes #energyefficiency #modernmethodsofconstruction #affordablerent #partnership #socialhousingprovider #housingassociation #council #modularconstructioncompany #energysaving #socialvalue
