Work Set to Commence at 150-Home Development in Saffron Walden

Construction work is set to start on a Bellway Essex housing development that will deliver 150 new homes in Saffron Walden. The development will provide 60 affordable homes for local people, including four bungalows and four apartments, with 42 of these properties available through affordable rent and 18 through shared ownership.

The remaining 90 homes will be sold privately and will comprise a mix of two, three, and four-bedroom houses to suit a wide range of buyers.

Richard Burrows, managing director of Bellway Essex, said: “There is high demand for additional housing in Saffron Walden and we have sought to provide a good mix of homes that will appeal to both first-time buyers and families, and also complement the surrounding community. The development will be a boost to the local economy by creating jobs directly on site as well as supporting the supply chain across the wider area.”
