Huntingdonshire District Council, GB converts surplus public lots into affordable housing

District officials selected nine vacant sites owned by the council for redevelopment as low-cost housing. These lots were not conventional candidates for residential developments due to size and location. Project partner Longhurst Group will build up to 100 new homes for sale or rent based on council approvals. Huntingdonshire District Council hopes that this cost-effective boost to the local housing stock reduces costs and encourages innovative development.
