Located in Salisbury at the Spirewood Grange development off Odstock Road, the homes were delivered by housebuilder Bellway and presented to Wiltshire Council as part of the planning agreement.

Emily Putnam, sales manager for Bellway Wessex, said: "The provision of high-quality affordable housing is essential to the creation of strong and inclusive new communities, enabling people with local connections to put down roots in the place they call home.

"We are proud to be working in partnership with Wiltshire Council to deliver these much-needed affordable homes for Salisbury residents."

The five completed properties, which include four two-bedroom terraced houses and a three-bedroom detached house, will be open to applications from local people in housing need through Homes4Wiltshire, the council’s choice-based lettings scheme, from Wednesday, April 15.

The remaining 15 homes will be completed in phases and handed over by spring 2027.

Cllr Adrian Foster, Wiltshire Council’s cabinet member for housing, said: "It's great to see the first of these affordable homes now completed.

"These homes will be let through Homes4Wiltshire, helping ensure they are allocated to people in housing need and used to provide affordable rented accommodation locally."
