THE latest phase of the multi-million pound redevelopment of a rundown Bradford estate has been completed.

QSH, the affordable housing developer behind Chain Street's regeneration, celebrated the completion of its new homes at the development.

The homes have been built as part of the second phase to transform the Goitside area of the city.

As part of the development's first phase, Incommunities delivered 16 family-sized homes for rent with the conversion of two blocks of bedsits and flats in the Chain Street area.

Barnfield Construction is delivering 32 high quality homes in total at the scheme – 12 of which have been earmarked for the private rented sector, with the first tenants now settling into their new homes.

One remaining two bedroom home and the final few three bedroom homes are now available for long-term rent.

The homes are being managed by the Bradford-based social housing group, Incommunities, for QSH.

Councillor Val Slater, Bradford Council's executive member for housing, transport and planning, said: "The completion of new homes at Chain Street represents a real milestone in the regeneration of Goitside.

"It's lovely to see new tenants settling into their properties and for the first time in a long time, they have high quality, well designed homes they can truly be proud to call home."

The phase two Chain Street development is being supported by the Homes and Communities Agency and Bradford Council.
