ONE hundred additional affordable homes could be built in St Neots.
Bpha - which started life as Bedford Pilgrims Housing Association - has acquired land for nearly 100 extra homes in the Loves Farm area of the town.
While sales of market housing stalled during the downturn, bpha has continued to build homes for affordable rents and shared ownership.
The company has already built 145 homes there, nearly all of them either let or reserved, with a further 130 in the construction phase and 88 already in the planning process as part of a 'planning gain' (Section 106) agreement with the developers Gallagher Estates.
