Caddick Construction has been appointed to build a new development of 54 family homes at Owlcotes Road in Pudsey.
The £13.9m contract will see Caddick build a range of one, two, three and four-bedroom homes for shared ownership and affordable rent on behalf of Leeds Federated Housing Association.
The plans, which had received local opposition, were approved in June 2024.
Steve Ford, Regional Managing Director of Caddick Construction North East & Yorkshire, said: “Our appointment to Owlcotes Road reflects our continued commitment to providing high-quality, affordable homes across Yorkshire, supporting local housing needs and creating lasting value for residents.
“The project is also a great example of our integrated approach, with our civil engineering team supporting the groundwork phase to help ensure a smooth and efficient delivery.
“As a registered partner of the Considerate Constructors Scheme, we’re committed to being a respectful neighbour, ensuring our activities are carefully managed and that we communicate openly with the local community throughout the project. From the outset, we’ve worked closely with Leeds Federated to put in place a robust construction environmental management plan to minimise our impact during the build.”
Georgina Nijjar, Head of Development at Leeds Federated, said: “The development at Owlcotes Road, once completed, will provide new affordable homes in Pudsey.
“The homes are being designed to be energy efficient and sustainable. Each home will include energy saving features, such as solar PV panels, air source heat pumps and electric vehicle charging points, to help support residents to minimise energy costs and reduce the carbon footprint. We’ve ensured that green spaces will be created for residents to enjoy.”
