A new development to bring 40 affordable homes to Withernsea, has been launched, via a partnership between East Riding of Yorkshire Council and Gleeson Homes.
The Sands Reach project is funded through the council’s Housing Revenue Account, and will provide a mix of two, three and four-bedroom homes. The development is designed to improve local housing provision.
There will be 29 homes for social rent and 11 homes under Shared Ownership.
All properties will achieve high EPC ratings, ensuring energy efficiency and helping to reduce energy bills.
Councillor Michael Lee, East Riding of Yorkshire Council cabinet member for housing and infrastructure said: “This is a great scheme to improve housing provision in Withernsea, and support residents in need. We look forward to welcoming the first occupants to their new homes, in due course.”
Andrew Davies, Gleeson Homes, Divisional Managing Director said: “This partnership is about more than building houses; it’s about creating a place where people can put down roots and enjoy the benefits of coastal living.
“Working with East Riding Council ensures that these homes will make a real difference to local families.”
The first homes are expected to be ready from 2026 and will be allocated in line with the council’s housing allocations policy.
