The residential developer has agreed terms with Great Places Housing Group to deliver 57 affordable homes in Hollingworth, and announced two senior appointments.
Mulbury will redevelop the former Organ public house in Market Street, which closed in 2015, into five apartments, while the rest of the 3.6-acre derelict site will accommodate 52 two-, three- and four-bedroom homes.
The £7.3m development, consented in November, will comprise a mix of detached, semi-detached and terraced houses, with 21 homes from the scheme being made available by Great Places for shared ownership, and the remaining 36 for affordable rent.
Helen Spencer, director of development at Great Places, said: “The mixed-tenure site will offer choice for customers, and we expect it to prove popular.”
