Builder submits plans for 116-home development

A housebuilder has unveiled plans for a 116-property venture.

Bellway hopes to create an 18-acre estate in Chadwell St Mary.

Bosses say the Essex-based development would include 58 private homes and 58 affordable properties, with one and two-bed apartments complemented by two, three and four-bed houses.

They add homes will feature air source heat pumps and electric vehicle charging points, with selected plots fitted with additional solar panels.

Thurrock Council is expected to decide on the blueprint later this year.

William Weston-Smith, Bellway Thames Gateway land director, said: “There is a real need for more affordable properties in this area, and half of the new homes will be available through low-cost rent, shared ownership or at a discount to market sale.

“These are carefully thought-out plans, which would create a sustainable and attractive development providing a pleasing and enjoyable place for people to live.

“The development would feature a series of well-connected open spaces to provide areas where residents and the public in general can meet and socialise and enjoy the outdoor environment.”
