Bellway South London is investing more than £4,000,000 in local infrastructure in West Sussex, as the company builds new homes at three developments in the county. The developer is delivering a total of 348 homes across sites in Chichester, Crawley and Thakeham, as well as providing new public open space and other facilities for the benefit of local residents. As part of the planning agreement for the developments, the housebuilder is also making contributions which will help fund improvements to roads, air quality, wildlife and allotments.  Daniel Williamson, Sales Director of Bellway South London, said: “Through these three developments, we are contributing a total of more than £4,000,000 to help improve a range of local facilities in Crawley, Thakeham and Chichester. “These contributions are perfect examples of how new homes can deliver wider benefits to the communities where we build. The planning agreements ensure funding is in place to support the local authority as new residents move in, thereby enabling services to be improved or to increase capacity.” Bellway South London is building 88 new homes at Indigo Park, off Shopwhyke Road in Chichester. The development will provide 77 private homes and 11 affordable properties for local people as well as a children’s play area.  The housebuilder is contributing more than £230,000 towards improvements to the A27 in the area and more than £51,000 towards mitigation for the Chichester Harbour Special Protection Area. At Riverbrook Place in Crawley, the developer is delivering 185 new homes, with 111 homes for private sale and 74 affordable homes, and a kick-about space to the north of the site. Bellway is contributing over £127,000 toward outdoor sports space, more than £20,000 towards allotments and £20,000 towards the relocation and upgrade of bus stops on Steers Lane. Bellway is also building 75 new homes at Abingworth Fields, on a site off Abingworth Crescent in the village of Thakeham. The development will feature 49 properties for private sale, including eight two-bedroom houses for the over-55s, as well as 26 affordable properties for local people, plus workshops for local businesses, open space and allotments. Financial contributions here include £31,000 to help Thakeham Parish Council implement its strategy to improve air quality and £28,000 towards the running costs of the village hall. Daniel said: “As part of these planning agreements, we are delivering on a range of commitments which will bring positive benefits to the local communities. Public open spaces and children’s playgrounds will enable residents to get together in an outdoor environment while allotments will allow people to grow their own food. “In addition to this, the employment opportunities provided by Bellway to staff and contractors, who are often local people, and the extra money new residents will spend within the local economy are further evidence of the positive impact these developments will have within their communities. “Our ongoing commitment to building much-needed new homes and creating new communities in West Sussex is further supported by two new sites that we have coming soon. “Work has started to build 287 new homes at Elizabeth Square in Worthing, and a further 247 new homes at Fallow Wood View in Burgess Hill will soon start to be built, and these developments will generate further funding for local infrastructure there.” For more information about Bellway South London’s developments in West Sussex, visit https://www.bellway.co.uk/new-homes/south-london.

Construction work on all homes at seven Bellway developments across the North East is due to be completed this year, delivering more than 1,100 new homes for people in the area. Building work is nearing the final stages at Arcot Manor in Cramlington, Moorfields in Killingworth, Burdon Rise in Ryhope, Havannah Park in Hazlerigg, Ottermead at Jameson Manor and The Listed at Ottermead in Ponteland and at Northdene in North Shields. As well as providing much-needed new homes, Bellway is contributing £7.8 million to improve local facilities and infrastructure as part of the planning agreements with local authorities for these developments. Bellway North East Sales Director, Emma Chesterton, said: “The hard work of the whole Bellway North East team – from our construction and sales teams on site to everyone at our headquarters in Gateshead – has helped us get to the point where we are nearing completion of seven developments across the region. “With our roots in the region, we are committed to significant investment in housing and infrastructure across Newcastle and the wider North East.” By the end of the year Bellway will have delivered 226 homes at Arcot Manor in Cramlington, as well as investing £1.9 million in local infrastructure, while at Havannah Park in nearby Hazlerigg, 224 homes will have been built, with funding from Bellway of £2.2 million towards local services including education, healthcare, roads and wildlife. At Moorfields in Killingworth, 336 homes have been provided by Bellway, with Ashberry Homes, part of Bellway Group, continuing work on a further 91 homes at Moorfields View to complete the wider 427-home neighbourhood – which has generated investment of more than £900,000 for schools, roads, healthcare and parks. Meanwhile, in Ponteland, two developments are nearing completion on the former Northumbria Police HQ site off North Road. Ottermead at Jameson Park consists of 184 new homes, while The Listed at Ottermead comprises 22 Grade II-listed Arts and Crafts-style properties which have been carefully restored into apartments and houses. The redevelopment of the site has also seen £1.5 million provided for local facilities. At Northdene in North Shields, a further 75 new homes have transformed a disused former reservoir site, as well as bringing more than £460,000 in contributions for primary schools, parks, play areas, sports facilities, playing pitches, allotments, wildlife and employment and training. And at Burdon Rise in Ryhope, Bellway has built 109 new four and five-bedroom houses, as well as investing £1.5 million in the local area, with funding for affordable housing, primary schools, play equipment, ecology and habitats, and roads. Emma continues: “We are not just building houses, we are creating a real sense of place and a sense of community at our developments. Bellway’s funding will not only benefit the new residents at these developments, but also people living in the wider community. “Looking back, it’s important to take stock of everything the team has achieved, and it’s particularly rewarding to see all these completed developments coming through, with residents and communities growing by the week.” For more information about Bellway developments in the North East, visit https://www.bellway.co.uk/new-homes/north-east.

The first homes at Bellway’s latest development in Milton Keynes have now gone on sale, following the start of construction work on site this summer. The housebuilder is delivering 175 properties in the first phase of Bellway at Whitehouse Park, including 53 affordable homes for low-cost rent or shared ownership. A further 277 homes will follow in subsequent phases, bringing Bellway’s total contribution to the wider regeneration of the Western Expansion Area of Milton Keynes to 452 properties. Phase one at Bellway at Whitehouse Park will feature a mix of two-bedroom apartments and two, three and four-bedroom houses for sale on land off Watling Street. The first residents at this development are expected to move into their completed properties early next year. Luke Southgate, Sales Director at Bellway Northern Home Counties, said: ““Bellway at Whitehouse Park will form a major part of Milton Keynes’ future development. It will provide a range of modern new-build properties in an attractive semi-rural location just a few miles from the city centre and Milton Keynes Central railway station. “With construction work underway and first homes now released for sale, we are on schedule to finish the first properties on site in February 2023. “This is the fourth successive year that Milton Keynes Council has met its housing supply target and we have made a significant contribution towards that. “We are currently building at two developments in Wavendon, one at Tattenhoe Park, and are hoping to start construction work on a new site in Greenleys next summer. We have strong ties to Milton Keynes as our divisional office is based in the city and are committed to helping to provide the new homes which are needed for the city to continue to grow and thrive.” For more information about Bellway at Whitehouse Park, visit https://www.bellway.co.uk/new-homes/northern-home-counties/bellway-at-whitehouse-park.         Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
