This joint venture between Abri and Thakeham will provide homes that will be some of the most sustainable in the region. With the highest standards in sustainable community creation, over 300 solar panels will be installed across the development of 139 new homes at West Horsley.
We’re building a range of two-storey homes and apartments on the green field site; a combination of 74 homes for private sale and 56 affordable homes. The average carbon emissions per dwelling will be only 1.5 tonnes C02 per year – around half the UK average.

Sustainability
We ensure our landscape-led development proposals integrate well with the local setting and have a benefit for local wildlife. We ensure that existing trees and hedgerows are retained wherever possible and plant new trees and shrubs in new green spaces.
With the high standards in sustainable community creation, over 300 solar panels will be installed across the development. The homes will also be built with a selection of fast electric charging points and high standards of insulation.
The new homes will achieve at least 30% reduction in carbon emissions; that’s over and above the policy requirement of 20%.With average carbon emissions per dwelling of only 1.5 tonnes CO2 per year – around half the UK average. Furthermore, five homes will be fully net zero carbon.
Biodiversity
Our design philosophy sees homes fronting onto green open spaces, and integrating with the surrounding landscape and benefit local wildlife.
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.
