Significant Step Forward: New Social Homes Plans in NI City
In a promising move to tackle the housing crisis, plans for 48 new social homes in Newry have been approved by the Newry, Mourne and Down District Council’s planning committee. The development, spearheaded by local Newry developer Kelly Brothers Ltd, will see the construction of 24 modern social houses and 24 apartments on Carnagat Road, Newry.
Multimillion-Pound Investment for Quality Homes
The multimillion-pound investment aims to address the pressing need for quality social housing in the area, offering a mix of two and three-bedroom units that meet the LifeTime Homes standards. The development will provide much-needed housing options for families on growing waiting lists, contributing to a solution for the housing crisis in the Newry community.
Commitment to Quality and Sustainability
Councillor Pete Byrne, Chairman of the Council, highlighted the significance of this social housing development in reflecting the council’s dedication to meeting the housing needs of residents. The project emphasizes collaboration and people-centric planning, aiming to create an attractive and high-quality living environment for future residents.
Community Collaboration for a Brighter Future
Local MLA Liz Kimmins praised the approval of the new homes as a significant step forward in addressing the housing crisis, emphasizing the importance of meeting the needs of the local community. Ronan Kelly, Managing Director of Kelly Brothers Ltd, expressed delight at the approval, emphasizing the commitment to delivering high-quality homes that align with sustainability standards.
As construction for the new social homes is set to begin later in 2025, the project represents a beacon of hope for residents in need of affordable housing. With completion targeted for 2027, the development signifies a collaborative effort between developers, local representatives, and the community to create a brighter future for all.
Through meaningful collaboration and a shared vision for quality housing, the approved social homes project in Newry sets a positive example for addressing the housing crisis and providing much-needed support for families in the community.
