Sustainability
This will be Mid Sussex’s first net zero housing development of scale. It will set the benchmark for how local housebuilders can better respond to the climate crisis, while meeting local housing needs.
A net zero carbon building is highly energy efficient and powered from renewable energy sources. This means that each year, the amount of carbon emissions associated with each home’s operational energy is zero. This approach exceeds the standards set out in Building Regulations.
Net zero carbon homes will ease the cost-of-living pressures for future residents, as these homes cost far less to heat than the majority of the District’s existing housing stock. With over 76% of the District’s homes heated entirely by gas and less than 0.5% being heated by renewable energy alone, this will help kickstart the transition into a cleaner, greener future.
Biodiversity
Our design philosophy sees homes fronting onto green open spaces, and integrating with the surrounding landscape and benefit local wildlife. By providing bird and bat boxes on homes, retaining the most ecologically sensitive areas, and new areas of planting, we will deliver at least 10% net gain in biodiversity, including supporting a nationally recognized landscape-scale recovery project.
We will also deliver our award-winning biodiversity educational programme, Eddie and Ellie in a local school. Helping future generations understand more about the natural environment.
Progress update
April 2024
All predevelopment works are now complete across the three phases. Initial enabling works included:
- Providing safe access to the main field through Willowhurst
- Installing temporary access gates.
- Establishing a preliminary welfare area.
Further, the construction road and sewers have now commenced on site, with the first section of the road now tarmacked to provide full access into the site.
The first foundations have been created and timber frames have begin to be installed with a small crane. We are aiming to launch the full sales area by June/July 2024
As part of our commitment to the local community, we are undertaking weekly litter picks along Willowhurst and Keymer Road.
