New-build council housing
Since 2011 we've built 180 new council homes. We currently have schemes being built in Bolton upon Dearne, Monk Bretton and Goldthorpe.
The new homes will be let and managed by Berneslai Homes. For letting enquiries contact Berneslai Homes.
Billingley View, Bolton upon Dearne
- 10 x 2 bed semi-detached houses
- 6 x 3 bed semi-detached houses
The Billingley View scheme is the pilot for the Barnsley Low Carbon Standard new build specification. All of the new houses will be owned by us for social rent and be managed on our behalf by Berneslai Homes.
We've worked with Leeds Sustainability Institute (part of Leeds Beckett University) on the build specification. The properties have been designed to be highly energy efficient and fossil-fuel free to respond to our Zero 40/45 Strategy to reduce carbon emissions.
All the houses will have air source heat pump heating, solar panels with battery back up and electric vehicle charging points.
As the original contractor went in to administration, we've appointed William Birch & Sons Ltd to complete the work.
Work will resume on site from 24 July 2023 and the properties should be complete by the end of October.
