en.Wedoany.com Reported - UK housebuilder Bellway received detailed planning permission for the Trinity Green scheme from Uttlesford District Council in Essex in March. The project is located on land to the west of Garnetts, Takeley. A residential development comprising 155 homes has commenced construction on the site. The project will utilize a timber frame construction method and will be equipped with electric air-source heat pumps and electric vehicle charging points for all properties. Related measures are expected to reduce carbon emissions by 62.33% compared to current building regulations requirements.
The residential development will provide 62 affordable homes, accounting for 40% of the total 155 units. The unit types range from one-bedroom apartments to four-bedroom houses. The remaining private homes offer two-bedroom to five-bedroom layouts. The project plan includes approximately 10 acres of public open space, featuring an off-leash dog exercise area and a circular dog-walking route. A nearby play area will also be upgraded during the development process.
Mary O'Sullivan, Sales Director of Bellway Essex, stated: "We worked closely and constructively with Uttlesford District Council and the Uttlesford Quality Panel to develop a plan that meets the needs of the community and is delivered in a thoughtful and sustainable way." Mary O'Sullivan added: "Our aim is to create a community that respects the unique rural qualities of the area, particularly protecting the setting and landscape around the Grade I listed Holy Trinity Church, and our plan will achieve this."
Mary O'Sullivan further explained: "With over £2.4 million of local investment associated with the development, providing over 60 affordable homes and several acres of public open space, Trinity Green will bring significant benefits to new residents and the wider community." Regarding the location, she mentioned: "This is a highly desirable location, just a 20-minute drive from Bishop's Stortford town centre and less than 10 minutes from Stansted Airport, making it very conveniently connected."
Under the planning agreement, Bellway has committed over £2.4 million for local infrastructure and services. Specific allocations include £1.4 million for education provision and over £590,000 for sustainable transport initiatives. The Trinity Green residential development, through the use of timber frame construction and electric air-source heat pumps, achieves a reduction in carbon emissions compared to current building regulations requirements.
