Work has officially begun on the second phase of a major housing development in Northwich that will deliver 97 new affordable homes.
Your Housing Group is working with Lovell Partnerships to deliver the £28 million development, known as Orchard View, which will provide 97 homes comprising 70 shared ownership properties and 27 homes for social rent. The development will offer a mix of two, three and four-bedroom homes, helping to meet local housing demand and provide a range of affordable housing options for individuals and families.
The scheme builds on the success of the first phase of the development, which has already delivered 165 new homes, creating a thriving community and providing much-needed homes for local people.

Supported by Homes England through the Social and Affordable Homes Programme 2026-2036, construction is now underway, with the new homes expected to be completed by May 2029.
The development forms part of Your Housing Group’s ongoing investment in much-needed social and affordable housing across the North.
Lorraine Donnelly, Chief Operations Officer at Your Housing Group, said:
“We’re delighted to have started work on the second phase of Orchard View, building on the success of the first phase, which has already delivered 165 much-needed homes in Northwich. These new homes will provide more opportunities for people and families to access high-quality, affordable housing, whether through social rent or shared ownership. We’re pleased to be working alongside Lovell Partnerships and Homes England to bring these new homes forward and make a positive difference for local residents.”
Paul Challinor, managing director for Lovell in the North West, said: “It’s great to be working on the next phase of this project in Northwich alongside our partners at Your Housing and Homes England, enhancing this well-established partnership.
“Orchard View embodies the Lovell partnership approach to delivering more high-quality affordable housing and prioritising sensitive placemaking, to build communities where people are proud to live. Following the success of the previous phase where there was overwhelming demand, we are excited to see our vision take shape and continuing this exceptional development.”
