David Garrett, Managing Director of Dandara South East, commented: “It is always a great moment when you first see plant machinery on site. We have had this land earmarked to build on for quite some time and it is fantastic to now see all the hard work paying off and construction beginning, creating new homes and jobs for the local community in this beautiful part of East Sussex.

“We have worked closely with Wealden District Council to ensure that the development does justice to its location and enhances the local area. We will be providing regular updates to neighbours in the area about the progress of the build programme and are committed to ensuring disruption is kept to a minimum during the construction period.”

Dandara is also starting on Braeburn Fields’ sister development, Pearmain Place in Crowborough this summer. This development will feature 230 homes over two phases.
