Construction News Image
More than 300 new homes are to be built in Crawley, West Sussex.

Clarion Housing Group has been chosen to deliver 313 new homes in the borough as part of the £60 million Crawley Growth Programme which will unlock jobs, business space and home building in the town through major infrastructure improvements.

The mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments will be developed on a 1.85-acre site at Telford Place, which is currently used as a temporary car park. Around half of the homes will be available for private sale, with the remainder consisting of shared ownership homes and 87 council homes charged at 'affordable' rents.

Plans are to be submitted by the end of this year, with a view to start work on site in early 2019.

Cllr Michael Jones said: "This proposed housing development would be the biggest in the town centre and it's great to see that the project is progressing for what promises to be a high quality, prestigious development. It is part and parcel of this council's ambition to deliver more than 1,000 new council homes for people here in the borough over the next few years.

"I look forward to working with Clarion Housing Group as they bring these major plans forward."

Ian Hagger, Regional New Business Director for Clarion, added: "We are excited to be part of this ambitious town centre project and look forward to working with the council to transform Telford Place into a high quality housing development, which will be at the heart of a thriving community."
