Firm backed by Rio Ferdinand and Mark Noble backing affordable housing plan in the North West

A firm backed by former England footballer Rio Ferdinand is throwing its weight behind a scheme to build 100 affordable homes on the Wirral.

Planning has been given to developer Peel Land and Property to build 500 one and two-bedroom apartments on the 500-acre Wirral Waters site, the first in a £90m residential scheme on the former East Float dock.

The project includes 100 affordable homes supported by Legacy, a firm created to help local authorities deliver affordable homes and backed by Ferdinand, West Ham football club captain Mark Noble and former West Ham striker Bobby Zamora.
