A group of 12 ex-service personnel in Plymouth are counting down the days until they can move into the homes they have been building for themselves over the past year. The Nelson Project will comprise accommodation for each of the veterans who has laboured on site, in addition to 12 more units including homes for adults with learning disabilities and affordable homes for sale. The development is a collaboration between Plymouth City Council, the Homes and Communities Agency, DCH and the Community Self Build Agency (CSBA), Build It’s partner charity. All ex-service personnel who have worked on the scheme have been able to achieve a foundation level 1 in construction, three health and safety qualifications and obtain a Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) card.
