SC4 is proud to have decorated these 12 Zero Carbon Affordable Homes for RJ Leighfield & Sons during the second half of 2024.
The homes were built on the brownfield site at Culllum House in Wheatley for Soha Housing with funding from South Oxfordshire District Council.
Decorating works started in June 2024, and the homes were handed over to Soha by RJ Leighfield & Sons in November 2024, in what RJ Leighfield described as "a very successful collaboration".
The units included flats purpose built for wheelchair users.
South Oxfordshire District Council used some of the money it gets from developers, known as Section 106 commuted sums, to help fund the affordable homes.
It’s part of a £5 million fund agreed by the council in its budget, from Section 106 money, to be spent on increasing the number of fit for purpose affordable homes in the district.
Councillor Robin Bennett, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Regeneration, said:
“Providing homes that people can afford is a key goal for our administration, so I’m pleased we’ve been able to use developer contributions to help deliver this ambition.
It’s even better that these homes will be zero-carbon as we are determined to help take action on the climate emergency. They should be cheaper to heat, saving our residents money too.
This scheme is just one of many affordable housing developments we are helping to fund in the district as we know they are desperately needed in the district.”
The homes will be “affordable rent” – defined as charging up to 80 per cent of market rates for rent.
