Newark and Sherwood Homes Business Development Team worked in partnership with Newark and Sherwood District Council in a successful bid for 'Homes and Communities Agency' funding of £1.25m to build 26 new affordable energy efficient council homes across 4 sites in the district. The sites are:
- Bakewell Close, Balderton: 8 dwellings: 8 x 2 bed apartments
- Newark Road, Boughton : 5 dwellings: 5 x 2 bed houses
- Orchard Close, Bleasby: 3 dwellings: 2 x 2 bed bungalows and 1 x 3 bed house
- Vicars Court, Clipstone: 10 dwellings: 2 x 2 bed bungalows and 8 x 2 bed houses
All four sites have been constructed by Carter Homes with the majority of Sub-Contractors being local.

All four shcemes which have now been completed and let to local people were built to the following high standards:
- Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4

-
Building for Life
