All houses on a 210-home affordable development by Breck Homes have been handed over to residents.
The completed development, which is located on Bourne Road, Thornton-Cleveleys, has now been acquired by affordable housing provider Jigsaw Homes Group to manage.
Construction began in 2022 and the first occupiers begun moving into properties on the scheme in March 2023 while development continued. The scheme completed in March 2025, a year ahead of schedule.
The site, which includes a combination of one-to-four bed houses, bungalows and apartments, is both Breck’s and Jigsaw’s largest development to date. Jigsaw worked alongside Homes England and Wyre Council on the scheme, which has a total value of £25m.
One of the new residents is Donna Long, who has moved into a two-bed house with her partner Jake and baby son Jasper. They had previously been living with a family member.
She said: “We saw these homes being built and went online to check when they were available. As soon as one of the Rent to Buy properties came up, we bid for it straight away and luckily we were invited to view it.
“Once we had gone through the affordability checks we got the call to say we had been offered the house we wanted. It felt amazing, knowing we would have our own home that we can work towards owning.
“We have a big garden for Jasper to play in and a larger driveway for Jake’s van as he is a plumber. There’s a park nearby, a good school down the road and the neighbours are fantastic. We honestly could not ask for a better place to live – we absolutely love it here.”
Dan King, technical director at Breck said: “The scale of this development required us to take a multi-phased approach to delivery, so residents could move into completed units while construction continued safely and efficiently on other plots.
“It has highlighted our expertise working with registered housing providers on sites of this size to a high quality and on schedule.
“It is heartening to see so many individuals, couples and families already settling into their new homes. To date, this is Breck’s largest completed development and we are currently on-site at further large developments including 205 homes in Winsford, also on behalf of Jigsaw. We’re looking forward to continuing to work in partnership with the organisation over the coming years to deliver high-quality affordable homes across the North.”
Brian Moran, chief executive of Jigsaw Homes Group said: “We are very proud to have delivered a scheme of this size providing a mix of quality, affordable homes that meet the local demand and help to create real communities.
“We have a great track record of providing new homes in this area with many more affordable homes currently being built. We are really pleased to have worked in partnership with Wyre Council, Homes England and Breck to bring this large scheme to fruition, and it was great to hear first-hand from our new residents about how happy they are to live here.”
Prior to construction, Breck was responsible for the remediation of the site, which included a former power station, to make it suitable for development.
