The latest development for WV Living will deliver 18 new homes on the site of the former Daisy Bank Community Centre in Bilston,.<\/p>\n
WV Living is the City of Wolverhampton Council\u2019s wholly-owned housing development company. The new development, located on Ash Street in Bilston, will deliver a total of 18 homes, comprising a mix of two, three, and four-bedroom properties. Of these,13 will be available for sale, while five will be council homes for affordable rent.<\/p>\n
WV Living said in a statement that, in a commitment to sustainability and community heritage, it is working closely with West Midlands-based reclamation specialists ADS Demolition to salvage and repurpose materials from the former community centre as demolition takes place. Impressively, 99% of the building will be recycled, with materials being given a new lease of life in future building projects.<\/p>\n
Councillor Steve Evans, the council\u2019s deputy leader and cabinet member for city housing, said: \u201cThis development represents a significant step forward in our ongoing efforts to deliver high quality, sustainable housing across the city. By transforming a disused site into a vibrant new community, we are not only addressing local housing needs but also demonstrating our commitment to environmental responsibility.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m pleased to see the partnership with a West Midlands based reclamation company which shows our commitment to sustainability and preserving the character of our neighbourhoods. This is a win for Bilston and a win for Wolverhampton.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sally Saunders, managing director at WV Living, said: \u201cWe\u2019re excited to unveil this new development in Bilston, which will provide much needed homes for local people. Our aim is to create welcoming, well-designed neighbourhoods where families can thrive.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis site has strong ties to the community, and we\u2019re proud to be building on that legacy by delivering homes that reflect the needs and aspirations of local residents.\u201d <\/p>\n
WV Living said it continues to work in partnership with the City of Wolverhampton Council\u2019s Housing Team to deliver homes that support the city\u2019s housing strategy. <\/p>\n
So far, the company has built over 600 homes, including more than 260 properties for shared ownership and council homes for affordable rent.<\/p>\n
Over the next five years, it reportedly plans to deliver a further 500 homes, with nearly 150 of these earmarked as council homes for affordable rent and shared ownership.<\/p>\n
By the end of 2025, the company will have invested \u00a3100m into housing developments across Wolverhampton.<\/p>\n
Construction is expected to begin at Daisy Bank in autumn 2025, with the first homes due for completion in Spring 2026.<\/p>\n
