ThamesWey delivered five new affordable family homes at Yew Tree Close, at the time (2019) it marked the first new Council homes of this type to be completed in the borough in recent years. The homes were handed over to Woking Borough Council as part of its Housing Revenue Account programme.
Developed with Endeavour Construction and Wienerberger, the scheme followed the Wienerberger e4 strategy, ensuring the homes were not only affordable to rent but also cost‑effective to run. Built using a fabric‑first approach, the properties achieve exceptionally high levels of insulation, helping to reduce energy use and lower household bills for tenants.
The Wienerberger e4 brick house design minimises environmental impact and meeting Level 4 of the former Code for Sustainable Homes, without the need for renewable technologies. The resulting homes are energy‑efficient, lower‑carbon and designed to support long‑term affordability.
Yew Tree Close was the first in a series of small residential projects delivered by ThamesWey on behalf of the Council, demonstrating our capability to provide high‑quality, sustainable homes that meet local needs and contribute to the borough’s wider housing strategy.
