COMMITTEE BRIEFING
Residential proposals for Land at Linford Land at Linford
BACKGROUND EASL and ilke Homes submitted a detailed planning application in October 2021 for the construction of 230 affordable homes. The scheme will be constructed through Modular Construction methods that will enable an accelerated build programme. Homes can be delivered up to 50% more quickly compared with traditional construction methods, enabling the provision of much needed affordable housing in a much shorter timeframe. Moreover, the applicant has agreed to a shorter implementation period, so rather than the typical 3 years, this will be reduced to just 18 months. All dwellings will be of Modular Construction with the modules manufactured off-site before being transported to Site for assembly. This will allow for an increased rate of delivery compared to traditional build housing and will also minimise noise and dust nuisance during the construction phase, as well as reducing general construction site traffic and pollution. The proposed dwellings will be highly energy efficient with sustainability front-and-centre of their design. This will result in an up to 90% lower energy bills and an average of 20% less energy consumption compared to a traditionally constructed home. 58 homes will be ZERO bills homes. This would make it to date the single largest commitment to Zero-Bills housing in the country.

STANFORD-LE-HOPE ilke Homes are delivering a 153-affordable home scheme in Stanford-le-Hope. The comprises of 138 two-, three- and four-bedroom houses and 15 two-bedroom apartments. The project is the largest zero carbon development in the UK with a number of homes having ZERO bills to pay. Included in the development will be integrated low-carbon technologies, like air source heat pumps, solar panels, and battery storage – this will drastically reduce household bills. Each ZERO bills household will save over £2,500 on energy costs per year. The scheme was approved by Thurrock Council in March 2021 and is already well progressed. The scheme will be built around a significant amount of green open space. To add to the appeal for families, the area will include play areas, nature trails, plus a network of footpaths and cycleways meaning the nearby town is easily accessible for jobs, shops and the train station into London Fenchurch Street. The scheme also includes biodiversity areas and attractive water features to encourage local wildlife and add to the attractiveness of the neighbourhood. Nearby Stanford-le-Hope Project
ABOUT ILKE HOMES A modular developer based out of Flaxby, near Knaresborough, ilke Homes is at the forefront of British innovation in the housebuilding sector. With the backing of expertise from automotive, aerospace, and consumer leaders, ilke is pioneering the future of housing in the UK. Bringing the world’s best manufacturing practices to residential construction, ilke Homes use advanced, offsite, modular building methods to create beautiful and sustainable new homes that are built to last. Since its foundation in March 2016, ilke Homes has worked with a range of developers, local councils, and registered providers to deliver much-needed new housing. Built at top speed and to a quality that’s unlike any other, our sustainable homes are designed to reflect and enhance local vernacular. To local authorities, ilke Homes’ modular approach to construction offers an opportunity to deliver the high-quality homes they need without the delays associated with traditional building.
HOW WE MANUFACTURE OUR HOMES ilke Homes uses intelligent, offsite engineering to create innovative and sustainable steel-framed homes; this fresh approach means consistently high standards of finish throughout. Our precision engineered homes are fabricated along a highly automated production line in a factory in Knaresborough; completed factoryfinished modules are then loaded onto lorries and delivered to the site where they are craned into place and installed. This volumetric method not only allows ilke to produce better quality houses in less than half the time of traditional building, the substantially reduced construction time results in significantly less disruption for the local community.
