Yvonne Westhead-Fyles, director of development at Livv Housing Group, said: “Our priority is to tackle housing demand across the city region and our partner boroughs.

“We’re excited to deliver hundreds of new homes to suit a variety of needs, including houses, bungalows and apartments.

“But every home we build is more than just bricks and mortar – it’s an investment in people and place. Our projects provide secure, affordable housing while creating vibrant communities where individuals and families can thrive.

“Collaboration is key, and by working closely with our local and regional partners we’re making great progress in delivering much need-new homes for our customers that will have a lasting, positive impact.”
