The July issue features the first ever Tech Power…

Peel L&P has taken control of a housing scheme at Wirral Waters from modular housebuilder House by Urban Splash, which entered administration in May.

House by Urban Splash was due to bring forward phase one of the East Float housing project comprising 30 homes.

Richard Mawdsley, director of development for Peel L&P's Wirral Waters, said that the scheme's contractor, who is "unaffected" by the administration, is on-site and key staff have been retained to ensure practical competition of phase one of the project.

Peel, which will be responsible for the development moving forward, expects to achieve practical completion "within a matter of weeks", according to Mawdsley.

"The housing products we have delivered in Phase One, and plan to deliver in Phase Two, have been designed by Liverpool-based architects, shedkm," he said. "Both the ‘Town House’ and Row House homes have been designed so they can be constructed using a variety of methods, including traditional, full volumetric and panelised delivery.

"The different approaches to delivery will not impact on key features such as the 50 per cent reduction in energy costs when comparing Town House to a similar new build home."

Mawdsley said Peel is now working with the architects, contractors and others to finalise its approach to the implementation of phase two, the next 55 homes, which he is confident "will be delivered within the planned timescales".

He said the plans for the final two phases of the East Float project do not involve the House by Urban Splash factory and will be brought forward as intended.

"The overall delivery trajectory for this particular development at Wirral Waters will not be adversely affected by the closure of the factory, and it will be delivered in full and on time," he added. "East Float is one of three residential schemes now onsite along the new Northbank neighbourhood area of Wirral Waters, that will collectively deliver over 1,100 new homes in the next few years.

"This includes the catalytic 500 home Millers Quay development which is also on site. These schemes will sit alongside new public realm, parks, and dockside walkways, much of which is already complete, creating a new diverse and sustainable community at Wirral Waters."
