‘ TENURE BLIND ’ NEW-BUILD DEVELOPMENT IN HARROGATE
» OVER 1,700 OPTIMA WINDOWS and doors from Profile 22 were installed in a £ 38 million tenure-blind new build housing development in Harrogate , North Yorkshire .
Skipton Road is a new build development from Home Group built on former agricultural land in Harrogate . The scheme comprises of 214 apartments , detached , end terrace , linked detached , mid terrace and semi-detached homes with two to five bedrooms . Sixty percent of the homes are for private sale and 40 % for affordable housing , which is split across affordable rented and shared ownership properties .
A primary aim of the development was to create a tenure-blind community , with no discernible difference between private and affordable homes . This would ensure that all parts of the site are equally attractive and would contribute to greater community cohesion .
The aim meant the project ’ s specification was critical , with every element needing to provide exceptional quality and good value . The windows and doors specified for the contract were Optima from Profile 22 , the UK ’ s leading commercial window and door system , which had all the credentials required .
With the project needing over 1,700 casement and flush casement windows , residential doors and French doors , it was awarded to experienced Profile 22 Approved Contractor Kingfisher Windows , a leading manufacturer and supplier of windows , doors and conservatories .
For this project , the Optima windows had a textured Basalt foil on the external face to tie in with the development ’ s subdued material palette that reflects the
surrounding communities . The internal face was white to provide an understated look that would complement any interior design .
The project is due to complete in March 2022 and Sean Egan , Home Group director of development , commented : “ This is a prime site in a very popular town where there is a high demand for housing . We intend to deliver high quality homes which will be sought after by those wanting to live in the area .”
