Affordable homes at a major urban extension
Glenvale Park in Wellingborough is a major urban extension planned to grow to around 3,000 homes, and BREE Construction delivered 148 of them as affordable housing for Stonewater. The 23 million pound scheme broke ground in October 2022, when Stonewater, BREE and the wider project team celebrated a start on site to provide the new homes within one of the East Midlands' largest residential developments.
Stonewater had earlier been welcomed to Glenvale Park by the masterplan operator as one of its housing partners, joining the 3,000-home scheme. Construction was carried out at Fitzhugh Rise on a site registered under the Considerate Constructors Scheme, with North Northamptonshire Council as the local authority overseeing the development.
Low-carbon homes and partnership delivery
All 148 houses were fitted with Samsung air-source heat pumps, installed through the project's mechanical and electrical partner, making the development a genuinely low-carbon scheme from the outset and supporting Stonewater's environmental ambitions. The tenure mix combined 74 social and affordable rent homes, 35 shared-ownership homes and 39 rent-to-buy homes, broadening access for a wide range of local households.
Delivery brought together Stonewater, BREE Construction and the wider project team, including the M&E and design partners who supported the build. The homes were completed in the summer of 2025, with completion reported as nearly 150 affordable homes finished at the major Wellingborough development. The scheme marked a significant step in the build-out of the Glenvale Park community and a strong demonstration of low-carbon affordable delivery at scale.
A lasting addition to the Glenvale Park community
Stonewater's involvement brought a significant tranche of affordable housing into a development that will shape Wellingborough for years to come. The 148 homes gave the growing community a strong affordable core across rented, shared-ownership and rent-to-buy tenures.
The use of air-source heat pumps throughout, delivered with the project's M&E partner, gave residents low-carbon homes designed for lower running costs and reduced emissions. As part of a wider urban extension still being built out, BREE's 148 homes set a clear standard for affordable, energy-efficient delivery at Glenvale Park.
