We are delighted to be able to create affordable homes in Gloucester so local people can build secure futures, confident in the support that comes with an SNG home.”

Skott Hughes, Finance Director at Lioncourt Homes said: “Our development at Hempstead Lane is a fantastic example of the Lioncourt Homes’ team design and engineering ability. Our development of 70 homes sits on a brownfield site which lay derelict for 25 years. We are delighted that we have been able to breathe new life into this former MOD fuel facility to provide sustainable homes for the people of Gloucester, whilst protecting existing habitats and vastly enhancing biodiversity.”
