As new affordable homes take shape
in Emsworth, VIVID welcomed Havant Borough Council’s Cabinet
lead for Housing, Councillor Amy Redsull, to its latest site
on Coldharbour Farm Road for an update and closer look at
the progress that’s being made.
The development, which VIVID is
completing with its construction partner Doswell Projects
includes 44 new homes – 37 for social rent and 7 for shared
ownership. These homes are being built at a time when Havant
Borough Council, like many local councils across the
country, has a significant housing waiting list. To meet
future demand, the council expects to need around 370
affordable homes each year.
Tristan Samuels, Group Development
& New Business Director at VIVID, said: “Our work in
Emsworth marks another important step in addressing local
housing need, with 44 affordable homes being delivered for
local people who will soon have a place they can truly call
home. As a long-standing partner of the Council, we were
pleased to welcome Amy to site and highlight our ongoing
commitment to delivering high-quality homes. We’re proud to
be providing good-quality housing for our customers and
playing a part in building strong, thriving communities.”
Councillor Amy Redsull, Cabinet
lead for Housing at Havant Borough Council, said: "I
thoroughly enjoyed viewing the site. It is inspiring to see
the amount of social-rent properties that will soon be
available for people on our housing waiting list. I look
forward to seeing these properties once they're completed
and hope that they can make wonderful homes for local people
in need."
Sam Doswell, Doswell’s Managing
Director said: “Doswell is delighted to be working in
partnership with VIVID and Havant Borough Council to deliver
44 affordable, energy-efficient homes for Emsworth. Our team
is making strong progress on site, with safety and quality
at the forefront, and we look forward to welcoming new
residents in 2026.”
