Lovell completes 66 Wirral homes for Onward

The partnerships housebuilder has handed over the redeveloped former Foxfield School site in Moreton.

Lovell Partnerships began constructing the 66-home Wirral project for registered provider Onward Homes in June 2024, having acquired the site from the local council earlier that year.

The scheme offers a mix of terraced and semi-detached homes, with two, three and four bedrooms. Tenures featured across the development include shared ownership, affordable rent, and rent-to-buy.

Tahreen Shad, regional partnerships director at Lovell, said: “Working alongside Onward Homes and Wirral Council, we have transformed a long-vacant site into a thriving new community that provides high-quality, affordable homes for local people for years to come.

“This brownfield regeneration development demonstrates what strong partnerships can achieve when there is a shared ambition to unlock much-needed housing. These homes not only meet local demand, but also prioritise sustainability, accessibility, and placemaking.”

Onward and Lovell are also working in partnership on schemes in Crewe and Port Sunlight.

Sandy Kelly, interim growth and regeneration director at Onward, said: “It’s incredibly satisfying to complete our latest development on the Wirral, further improving the quality and choice of affordable housing for local people. These modern homes are not only affordable to rent or buy – they will also be more affordable to run in the long term thanks to their energy-efficient design and construction.

“Alongside new homes, this development has also unlocked real opportunities for local people and supported the local supply chain. We look forward to building on our strong partnerships with Lovell and Wirral Council to help more people in the area find a home that meets their needs.”
