Playing an important role in a post-crisis economic bounce back, this new scheme will see £90 million invested into the local economy, creating more than 70 construction jobs per annum over its six-year build period, and 32 permanent jobs once complete.

The Caddington site acquisition brings Inspired Villages development pipeline to 2,500 homes across the UK in the next six years. Together, these schemes will create around 1,000 construction jobs per annum, and up to 640 permanent jobs once the retirement communities are complete and operational.
