Construction has started on 34 new homes in Hull’s Orchard Park area as part of the city’s ongoing regeneration programme. The development at Isledane will deliver energy-efficient properties for social rent, built to meet high environmental standards.
The project, commissioned by Hull City Council and delivered by Caddick Construction, involves the installation of air-source heat pumps to reduce energy costs and lower carbon emissions. It forms part of a broader effort to expand sustainable housing supply and support Hull’s decarbonisation goals.
The scheme complements 99 affordable homes already under development at nearby Dane Park. It contributes to the council’s Housing Growth Strategy, which aims to enable the delivery of almost 6,000 new homes over the next six years.
Funding has been provided through a combination of national and regional housing programmes, including Homes England’s Affordable Homes Programme, the Ministry of Housing’s Brownfield Land Release Fund, and the Hull and East Yorkshire Combined Authority’s Brownfield Land Fund.
Completion of the Isledane development is scheduled for early 2027.
