Many of the new affordable homes contracted were thanks to its ‘green bond’ deal which raised almost £150 million and was the first of its kind for the housing sector.

Chief executive Claire Higgins said many people are priced out of owning a home due to them costing nearly seven times the average income in the city.

She added: “This is why last year we embarked on a major development programme and have contracted homes of various tenure types at several locations around the city to help local people.”
