Minister Recycles Clara Street Amenity Site |
|
Social Development Minister Nelson McCausland has lent a hand to officially launch a new £2.6million family housing development at Clara Street in East Belfast.
The development of 22 new homes, on the site of the former Belfast City Council Civic Amenity Site, is being developed by Apex Housing with part funding from the Northern Ireland Executive. The site was declared surplus to council requirements in 2010 and was taken up by Apex Housing to provide new housing for families from the social housing waiting list.
Minister McCausland said: "These new homes will be a welcome addition in an area that continues to have a high housing need. Those on the waiting list in this part of East Belfast can now look forward to new modern, energy efficient homes built to the very highest specifications with a range of eco features fitted as standard.

The two and three bedroom semi detached accommodation, which includes two properties designed specifically to accommodate the needs of wheelchair users, will have Secured by Design and Lifetime Homes accreditation, which ensures added security features and flexibility of adaptation if required at a later date. Roof solar panels will be fitted to assist water heating and water butts will be provided to harvest rain water. The scheme is planned for completion in June 2013.
