Construction to build 38 new affordable homes in Horndean
The homes will be available for social rent and shared ownership
Construction work has begun to build 38 new affordable homes in Horndean in a bid to create a new community.
VIVID, in partnership with Imperial Homes, is building the mix of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5-bedroom homes off Chalk Hill Road, with all 38 homes being ‘affordable’, with a mix of social rent and shared ownership.
The new homes will include sustainable features such as EV chargers and air source heat pumps. There’ll also be dedicated outdoor space where the new residents and the wider community can spend time, connect and enjoy the surroundings.
Sunita Aujla, Land and New Business Director at VIVID, said: “It’s always great to see construction begin and watch plans for new homes start to come to life. These 38 affordable homes will give more people the chance to put down roots in Horndean and be part of a local community.
“Good homes make a real difference to people’s lives, and this development is part of our wider work to invest in new and existing homes and create more affordable places to live across the south of England.”
Ben Olds, Director at Imperial Homes, said: “We are delighted to be working with VIVID again, we have a longstanding and robust relationship, and this project further strengthens our partnership and portfolio on the South Coast.
“The site at Chalk Hill will deliver 38 affordable properties, providing much needed social housing within the borough. Like VIVID, we are eager to see the project come to life and offer the homes to the market and local people.”
The new homes are expected to be completed in Autumn 2028.
