A housing developer says it can't fund the rest of the
affordable houses it's due to build on the site of a former school. Kells
Development Group was granted planning permission in 2010 to build 74 houses
with 22 of these being affordable. To date, 57 of the homes have been built –
the majority self-build plots. Sixteen of the houses have been sold to housing
association Two Castles but the remaining eight, which were intended to be sold
or rented out at an intermediate discounted rate, have not been built. The
developer has now asked for a relaxation in its legal requirements to provide
the affordable homes saying it wants to sell the eight plots to foot the bill
to complete the roads. Read more on the News & Star website.
