Development at twynham

Development and regeneration schemes for Twynham are carried out by Sovereign Housing Group Limited. Sovereign develops affordable homes in all categories, including rural, sheltered, supported, shared ownership, intermediate rent, and for open market sale.

Most of these homes are delivered by working with major developers, such as Barratt, Taylor Wimpey, Redrow and Galliford Try, as well as regional partners such as Cavanna Homes, Rivar, Banner Homes, and Bloor Homes.

The Hawthorns, Christchurch

In May 2007 we started work to build seven new family homes for rent on land at The Hawthorns in Mudeford, Christchurch. The four three-bedroom and three two-bedroom houses were built by Rok on two areas of land where there had been antisocial behaviour problems in the past.

As an added bonus for the area, the development includes an extra car parking area with 13 spaces to help ease parking problems in nearby Blackberry Lane.

The houses were built using a timber frame system where some of the preparatory work is done in a factory. The government strongly encourages such modern methods of construction which also mean that the houses were completed in less time than using traditional techniques - reducing any disruption to nearby residents.

Local residents were kept informed and involved with the progress of the development through drop-in events and newsletters. 

The new homes were completed in January 2008.
