L&Q is pleased to announce the first homes in London to be delivered to Level 4 of the Code for Sustainable Homes

Set for completion in September 2008, Vale Street in Lambeth continues L&Q’s commitment to the development of sustainable housing.

Vale Street will provide the first homes in London to be delivered to Level 4 of the Code for Sustainable Homes. The development will provide 60 quality homes for general needs rent and shared ownership including a high percentage of large family houses and apartments. Key partners in the development include the London Borough of Lambeth, Higgins, Hunter and Partners, Stock Woolstencroft and Wessex Engineering Services,

The site was purchased by L&Q from the London Borough of Lambeth in March 2006 for 100% affordable housing ‘with low energy requirements’. Lambeth Borough Council has since identified the Vale Street development as the borough’s key sustainability demonstration project.

David Montague, Group Chief Executive of L&Q is pleased that Vale St demonstrates L&Q’s commitment of building for the future;

"L&Q is focused on its long term plans for building and maintaining sustainable communities. Our aim is to continue to provide quality homes and services in line with the Governments housing targets. Over the next 5 years we will house 50,000 families which is a tremendous task but one that we look forward to delivering on. The Vale Street development is a perfect example of how we use our expertise and innovation to provide much needed high quality, affordable, sustainable homes”
