Work starts on £5.2m housing development in Hatfield

The site will feature a mixture of 34 two and three-bedroom homes and seven two and three-bedroom bungalows. These will be spread across two sites, linked by a landscaped area, and all will be available for affordable rent.

All homes will reflect a high quality, modern feel and will come with fresh features including an electric vehicle (EV) charging point to help families to reduce their carbon footprint and consider an electric vehicle.

Martin Philips, Development Manager at Ongo, said: “We’re delighted to be building even more homes in the Doncaster area, as we understand the high demand for properties of this type.

“It’s great that not only are they going to be finished to a modern standard, we can also offer additional features like EV charging points, which reflects our commitment to be as environmentally friendly as possible.

“We can’t wait to see these homes take shape and cannot wait to update you all as it progresses.”

Energy and regeneration specialist, ENGIE has been appointed as the lead contractor. They are set to begin work in April of this year, with an expected completion date of March 2022.

Sean Corcoran, Regional Director at ENGIE, said: “We are excited to begin work on creating these high quality affordable homes, which are so in demand in the area.

“We are especially pleased that the development’s future residents will be able to benefit from the EV chargers.”
