The first phase of the development will be finished early next year, delivering 43 new council houses and the second phase will deliver 20 new council houses for Fife Council, expected to complete in November 2025.

The 43 houses now completed are a mix of detached, semi-detached homes of various sizes along with single-storey amenity and wheelchair bungalows. Each property is insulated to a very high standard.

Fife Council’s housing spokesperson Cllr Judy Hamilton visited the site recently and welcomed progress.

She said: “I am delighted that in the face of a housing emergency, we are continuing to deliver our ambitious Affordable Housing Programme, one of the UK’s largest social house-building programmes, while the pressure on housing services continues to be relentlessly high.

“Each new council house will deliver a warmer, healthier home that helps to improve the wellbeing of our tenants.”

Work at the Kennoway site is progressing well and it’s anticipated the homes will welcome their first tenants late next year.

As well as providing more housing, the Affordable Housing Programme creates jobs and apprenticeships, supporting the construction industry and the Fife economy.
