Works progressing at site of new housing in The Hill

The first houses built by HTS Group Ltd works are progressing well at the site of new housing in Old Harlow

The first houses built by HTS Group Ltd are progressing well at the site of new housing in Old Harlow. Work to construct the two properties, situated in The Hill, is now moving forward following the demolition of the house that was there previously. This had to be a very careful demolition, carried out by a specialist contractor as the house, which was in an unsafe condition, was part of a semi-detached pair of houses.

Drainage and the foundations for the two new houses are now being laid in readiness for construction of the buildings to begin in earnest.

John Phillips, HTS Group Ltd Managing Director, said: “We are very excited to see the gradual and careful progress being made as we prepare the site to build two brand new council houses in The Hill.”

Councillor Simon Carter, Portfolio Holder for Housing, said: “I am pleased to see that work on the first homes to be built by HTS continues to progress well. With the foundations now being prepared I am looking forward to see how these houses take shape over the coming months”.

Once built, these homes will be let to people on Harlow Council’s Housing Needs Register.

The homes are due for completion in early 2022.
