Crawley Borough Council proposal for affordable new town centre homes in the works
and live on Freeview channel 276
AHH will develop a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments on the site at Telford Place, subject to planning permission. The site, which is owned by the council and in use as a temporary car park, is being sold to AHH to deliver this mixed tenure affordable housing scheme.
The proposal is for a residential-led community providing affordable apartments with communal facilities, under-croft parking and landscaped grounds, which includes a new access road leading in from Haslett Avenue East.

The proposed development is complemented by the completed Eastern Gateway public realm scheme and the forthcoming Crawley Station Gateway scheme, both part of the £73 million Crawley Growth Programme, which is unlocking jobs, business space and home building in the town through major infrastructure improvements.
Councillor Sandra Buck said: “This potential development is very exciting for us. It could see much-needed affordable housing delivered while transforming a major town centre gateway site. Another bonus is the potential inclusion of ‘later living shared ownership’ on the site, which would be a first for the area. “
