This development will include a mix of two-, three- and four-bedroom homes and will be available for a mix of tenures on the bases of affordable rent, shared ownership and right to buy.
The construction company stated that the new project will be delivered in support with funding from Homes England.
Construction work on new homes is scheduled to commence later this summer with completion expected in spring 2024.
Yorkshire Housing growth and assests executive director Andy Gamble said: “This is the first site that we’re looking to use structurally insulated panels for the build and we’re also considering a number of different smart tech options for the finished homes.
