Housebuilder Bellway has submitted a proposal to Thurrock Council for full planning permission to build a new development on an 18-acre site off Chadwell Hill. The site would deliver 58 properties available through low-cost rent, shared ownership or discounted market sale, as well as 58 private homes.
The development would consist of one and two-bedroom apartments and two, three and four-bedroom houses. All of the homes would feature air source heat pumps and electric vehicle charging points, with select plots also having solar PV panels. It would also feature extensive open space, a children’s play area, drainage features and new footpaths, with existing public rights of way retained.
“This development would deliver a collection of energy-efficient new properties, using building fabric targeting the Future Homes Standard,” William Weston-Smith, land director for Bellway Thames Gateway, said.
“There is a real need for more affordable properties in this area and half of the new homes here will be available through low-cost rent, shared ownership or at a discount to market sale to allow local people to find a new home that suits their needs,” he continued.
