Work has begun on an 83-home development in Billingshurst, West Sussex, which will be known as Elmfield Green.
The Bellway development will feature a range of one to five-bedroom homes, with the first properties to be released for sale in June next year.
The plans feature public open space and play areas and there will be an area of grassland and woodland to the east of the site.
Daniel Williamson, sales director for Bellway Southern Counties, said: “This will be a very attractive development for local buyers because of the open space and the mix of property types we have planned here. The homes will cater for a variety of requirements and preferences. The layout of the development makes the most of the natural environment with every care taken to create views and highlight the landscape.
“As the development is around a half-hour walk or five-minute drive from Billingshurst railway station, it is convenient for commuters to access direct services to central London.
“These will be highly energy-efficient homes, and we have focused on making it a healthy and accessible space where people can easily get around on foot or by bike. With affordable homes included for shared ownership and affordable rent, this is an inclusive and sustainable development.”
Bellway will contribute more than £1 million towards infrastructure.
There will be 54 three to five-bedroom houses for private sale, alongside 29 one to four-bedroom affordable homes, which will include houses and apartments.
