The scheme in partnership with Thakeham will deliver 71 affordable homes with a mix of one-bedroom apartments and two- and three-bedroom houses. The homes are available through shared ownership, affordable rent and social rent, enabling more local people to get on the property ladder and helping families to stay in the area.
Bunmi Atta, our Director of Construction, said "With demand for affordable homes growing 10 times faster in rural areas than in towns and cities, these high-quality homes are great news for local people.
Wings Wood offers people a balanced village lifestyle with wider connections into London, Brighton and Portsmouth. We’ve already been able to welcome some new residents in and look forward to completing the remaining much-needed homes over the next few months."
Mike Link, Chair of the ABE CLT said "I have spoken to the tenants who have moved in so far and they are so appreciative of the priority given to people with a connection to the local area, and they are thrilled with the quality of their new homes. This is great news as our main objective is to ensure homes are genuinely affordable for people in the area".
Cllr Michael Warden, Chair of Aldingbourne Parish Council said "It’s great to see that the Community Land Trust we formed has strengthened the community, giving local people the opportunity to live alongside their family and friends".
