THE CHALLENGE
Hull City Council sought to build 99 new homes with ambitious energy efficiency targets on a site off Danepark Road in the north of Hull.
THE OUTCOME
Caddick Construction was appointed to the project via a Direct Selection under the EN:Procure New Build Framework to promote early contractor involvement and de-risk the project to bring greater value to Hull City Council. Â Â
Caddick Civil Engineering were also appointed to deliver the groundworks ahead of the main construction work.
The project is on programme with construction works at various stages and phases all around the site. Â Â
The scheme comprises 20 one-bedroom, 49 two-bedroom, 20 three-bedroom and 10 four-bedroom homes, all of which will be available for affordable rent. All homes will have air source heat pumps (ASHPs) and photovoltaic roof panels, with the power generated going back to the property to help power the ASHPs. Some homes will also have Electric Vehicle charging points.
50 of the new homes have been designed to comply with Part M4 (2) for disabled access.
All homes are provided with flood proof protection measures and a sustainable drainage design is incorporated into the scheme layout.
Over 250 trees are to be planted in green spaces around the development to help with biodiversity.
Dane Park is one of the biggest council house new build developments to start in Hull for many years. As well as building 99 well designed, energy efficient, family homes, these much-needed houses will enable the Council to play its part in tackling climate change and, just as importantly, help our tenants save money with lower electricity and heating bills.”

ADDED SOCIAL VALUE
The scheme also has added value around sustainability and delivery of five apprenticeships through EN:Able Futures Flexi-job Apprenticeship Services.
Two of the apprentices are learning bricklaying skills at NHBC’s Construction Hub in North Bransholme.
