Ground broken at new homes development at West Sussex village
A housebuilder is celebrating the start of construction work at a brand-new housing development near East Grinstead.
David Wilson Homes Southern announced it has broken ground at its new site on Crawley Down Road, Felbridge, officially marking the beginning of its 56-home development.
The housebuilder’s site manager Justine Hope and assistant site manager Chanella Fayth Luz were both at the event.
Justine, 54, from Australia, said: “I’m passionate about quality and the processes and procedures involved to get it right early on. I love seeing the transition of a development, starting out with the drawings and being at the forefront to see those drawings come to life.”
Chanella, 27, from The Philippines, said: “I like how surprised people are when I tell them I’m an assistant site manager. I’ve always been interested in construction and I enjoy the opportunity to work hard on site, keep physically fit and learn a range of useful skills along the way.”
David Wilson Homes Southern said the development of two, three and four bedroom properties is called Millers Grove and will create around 112 jobs for people in the area.
Campbell Gregg, managing director at David Wilson Homes Southern, said: “It’s fantastic to see work starting to mark the start of construction at our Felbridge development, Millers Grove. We are looking forward to seeing this new community take shape ahead of its eagerly anticipated launch later this year.”
The company said Millers Grove will deliver a range of high-quality and energy-efficient homes. The company added that the development is set to launch in summer with nearby schooling options including Felbridge Primary School and nearby rural surroundings including Hedgecourt Lake.
