Affordable housing developer Breck has begun construction of more than 100 properties in Preston, and purchased land in Ormskirk ready for its next development.

The 102 one to four-bedroom affordable homes at Sidgreaves Lane in Cottam, are being built for Progress Housing Group which will become the owner of the properties on completion.

The site gained planning approval last month and will include homes for affordable rent and shared ownership. It is expected to be completed by summer 2026.

Rebecca Field, head of development and sales, Progress Housing Group, said: “When complete, Sidgreaves Lane will be one of our largest new build developments to date and will provide much needed affordable housing in Cottam. 

“Market values in this area are currently out of reach of many and this scheme will provide individuals, couples and families with a new home they simply would not have been able to afford. It is one of two sites we have partnered with Breck on in the North West and we’re looking forward to continuing this relationship over the coming years.”

The unconditional purchase of land at Ormskirk Road in Upholland, West Lancashire, includes planning permission for 13 homes and will be developed for open market sale. Breck is set to start development later in 2024 following minor tweaks to the current plans.

Breck was formed in 2020 and is based in Walton Summit in Preston. It specialises in developing affordable houses between 25 and 250 units for registered affordable housing providers as well as homes for open market sale on sites between 10 and 50 units.

Breck currently has a development pipeline of more than 1200 residential properties across the North West.

Andy Garnett, director, Breck, said: “The development of high-quality housing is a vital part of regenerating communities across the North West for the coming generations and the demand for all types of residential property is continuing to grow.

“Over the past four years, we have developed a reputation for consistent delivery of quality properties for registered providers as well as open market sale. These two sites highlight our ability to act quickly and decisively to secure opportunities to bring developments forward and we’re now excited to progress their construction.”
