· Induction hobs to reduce the risk of burns

· Lockable cabinets in the kitchen and bathroom to improve safety

· Recycling bins fitted as standard

· Four-piece bathrooms in many house types for flexibility and future proofing homes

· Electric vehicle charging points where possible

The first properties are expected be completed in September 2023, with construction finishing around June 2025.
