Kingdom Housing Association Completes 41 Affordable Homes in St Andrews and New Housing in Crieff
Kingdom Housing Association has completed two housing developments in Crieff and St Andrews, Scotland. The projects were delivered with Ogilvie Homes and Barratt Homes. They bring new affordable homes to both locations, with properties available for social and mid-market rent.
The Crieff development is on Broich Road. It was built in partnership with Ogilvie Homes and forms part of a wider project planned across several phases. Once complete, the development will provide 75 homes for Kingdom tenants.
The completed homes include two, three and four-bedroom houses. There are also amenity and wheelchair-adapted bungalows. The properties meet Housing for Varying Needs requirements. Solar panels have been installed, and all homes have achieved an energy rating of B. They also meet Silver sustainability standards.
Kingdom and the Scottish Government jointly funded the development. Sean Whittet, development manager at Kingdom, said the project reflects the association's aim to provide affordable, sustainable homes that respond to housing needs.
New homes completed in St Andrews
Kingdom has also handed over 41 affordable homes in St Andrews. The development was delivered with Barratt Homes. It follows two earlier phases, which provided 63 homes at the same site.
The latest phase includes two-bedroom flats for mid-market rent. Social-rent options include two-bedroom cottage flats and houses with two, three and five bedrooms.
All 41 properties have achieved Silver Level 1 or 2 sustainability standards. They form part of the wider private Craigtoun development.
Dan Blake, group director of communities at Kingdom, highlighted the employment and training opportunities created during construction. These were provided through the association's Community Benefits programme.
He also pointed to the importance of keeping housing costs manageable for residents. The completed homes add to the affordable housing available in St Andrews.
Together, the two projects bring a mix of house sizes and rental options to Crieff and St Andrews. They also add to Kingdom Housing Association's housing provision across Scotland.
