Work set to start on new homes at Crawley’s 14th neighbourhood
Construction work is set to start on a new neighbourhood (the 14’th) in Crawley, following the signing of all legal agreements between the partners involved in this extensive housing scheme.
A consortium of Taylor Wimpey, Persimmon Homes, Crawley Borough Council and the HCA are the driving force behind the town’s new neighbourhood, which already has outline planning permission for 1,900 new homes, a news report in the local business media can reveal.
In excess of 200 homes are set to be built during the first phase, while a total of 40 per cent of the housing across the whole site will be made available to those on the housing needs list, while the rest will be a mix of private sector houses. Crawley Borough Council will be delivering the affordable homes as part of the agreement.
Peter Browning, the authority’s director of transformation and housing, said: "Plans for this new neighbourhood have taken a long time to get to this stage so I’m delighted that work is soon to start. It’s been a complicated process but by working together we’re bringing forward much needed housing and infrastructure for Crawley.
"Crawley Borough Council is building more than 530 affordable homes across the four phases of this development and I’m delighted with that. It represents a six per cent increase in the council’s current 8,100 housing stock, all of which will benefit local people most in need."
