Shared ownership - enabling residents to buy a share of a home and pay rent on the remaining portion.

The first of these homes will be ready for new residents in early 2025.

This sale is the first with the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust for Barratt and David Wilson Homes Pocklington developments. These affordable homes are part of a larger project comprising 380 energy efficient homes.

Designed with sustainability in mind, the homes feature air source heat pumps, underfloor heating, and photovoltaic panels, making them up to 74% more energy efficient than standard builds.

Beyond housing, the project will bring significant benefits to the community in Pocklington, including £5m investment in education, outdoor sports facilities, local transport systems and the new allotments.

Alongside the new allotments, the development will also include the planting of native species of trees, hedges, and shrubs to support biodiversity. Furthermore, it will provide bat boxes, bird boxes, and bee bricks to enhance the natural environment.

Barratt and David Wilson Homes Yorkshire East already has an established partnership with Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust, based on previous successful collaborations in and around York. This new partnership reflects a shared commitment to addressing the critical need for affordable housing in York and the surrounding areas.

Daniel Smith, Managing Director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes Yorkshire East, said: “We have a vision to build high-quality, energy-efficient homes that support our housing association partners in providing affordable rent and shared ownership properties to those who need them most. To meet our vision, we’re pleased to be partnering with Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust again for our affordable housing provision at the Stewarts Reach and Wolds View developments.
