Kingdom’s new homes have been designed with the current and future needs of residents in mind and will offer properties that can adapt as the needs of the tenants change and also include homes suitable for tenants with particular housing needs.

Julie Watson, interim head of capital investment at Kingdom said: “Working with Persimmon Homes, we will be able to provide affordable new homes that are not only safe and secure, but are highly energy efficient.

"That’s good for our tenants in terms of reduced energy costs, but also good for the environment. Recognising sustainability and the impact housing has on climate change is one of Kingdom’s strategic objectives.

"The development at Kingdom Park is an example of how combining technologies such as photovoltaic panels with modern construction materials allows us to play our part in tackling climate change.”

In addition to the 76 new homes being provided, education initiatives and employment and training opportunities will be included as part of the community benefits for the project.
