@HomesJimmyOve Many congrats to you and Ria mate! Saw your news while reading the Echo website when driving the shops with Bec... nearly made her crash shouting "that's f***ing Jimmy" at her

@J_______mahm @JoAllchurch@HomesEngland@Kieranmclaughln Not a normal situation for us at all
Providing AH integral to what do, but delivering it uniformly across v. difficult sites not always poss. Lower levels across early phases paves way for higher levels in later phases.We'll do right thing & recover AH position back on this site
@town__planner @shortthought@HomesEngland@Kieranmclaughln Context is everything
This is one of the most constrained sites of any in the Homes England portfolio
Ground conditions, drainage, land ownership, easements, ecology, listed buildings, immoveable sports pitches, topography, etc...
Our planners have worked miracles on this site
@JoAllchurch@HomesEngland@Kieranmclaughln There's genuinely very good reason for this. The cost of site wide sewers, drainage and infrastructure are absolutely eye-watering (no really... *eye-watering*).
We're going to do our best to recover the AH position back on the scheme's later phases.
@JoAllchurch@HomesEngland@Kieranmclaughln Yes... but sadly great design isn't necessarily evident across every tender we receive... so just making expectations absolutely clear on this one!
Not sure if a career @HomesEngland is right for you?
...if you want to make places like this 👇... then we're definitely the place for you

Delighted to complete the sale of @HomesEngland's 0.5 acre commercial site at Cottam Hall, Preston today
The site will serve the growing Cottam community with a vital source of convenience retail
Well done @HomesKerryB!
👏👏👏@KeepmoatHomes
This is a huge market making scheme and we look forward to it starting on site early next year
Under the Preston City Deal, @HomesEngland will now recycle the land sale proceeds from this site to fund new infrastructure in the region

Amazing to see this beautiful mural of Ian today by @Akse_P19 on Port Street here in Manchester to raise awareness for #WorldMentalHealthDay this coming Saturday.
Will be talking about it tomorrow night on @BBCNWT!

Great to get out today to visit @HomesEngland's site at Whittingham Hospital, Preston
Plenty of opportunities to be had for big & small developers
Also... there's a beauty of a church on site crying out for sympathetic renovation. Anyone out there up to the challenge?
