Modern Boutique set to deliver 16 budget-friendly residences in Lancing
In an exciting development for the Adur district, Adur District Council is partnering with local construction company Boutique Modern to regenerate two rundown sites on Daniel Close and Gravelly Crescent in Lancing, West Sussex. The project, which is already underway, aims to provide good quality, sustainable homes for the community by autumn 2025.
Councillor Lee Cowen, Adur's cabinet member for housing and citizen services, emphasized the importance of addressing the significant shortage of affordable homes in the district. "We are investing in our community by building affordable homes on neglected and underused sites," Councillor Cowen stated.
Boutique Modern, based in Newhaven, took possession of the sites in April 2024. The company, known for its commitment to the environment, is transforming the sites while ensuring that the projects align with sustainable principles. Each home will feature solar panels on the roof and will come equipped with a parking space featuring EV charging, contributing to the district's efforts to promote electric vehicles.
The 16 new properties, scheduled to be craned into place in September, will offer a mix of tenure options, aiming to help first-time buyers get onto the property ladder. Every home will also boast a private garden, adding to the appeal of these affordable homes.
The development is part of Adur District Council's small sites programme, which focuses on revitalizing neglected areas and providing much-needed affordable housing. This project is a testament to the council's dedication to improving the quality of life for its citizens.
While specific details about a Boutique Modern project in Lancing were not found, similar developments in the region often include mixed tenure options, financial schemes to support first-time buyers, and a focus on creating sustainable, connected communities. These developments also typically provide complementary amenities to enhance residents' quality of life.
For instance, Cala Homes, an active housebuilder in Sussex, including Lancing, has proposed new affordable homes in nearby areas like Cooksbridge. These developments emphasize proximity to sustainable transport like train stations and include significant local infrastructure improvements like shops, open spaces, and school drop-off areas to benefit both new and existing residents.
As the project progresses, more details about the specific features and benefits of the Lancing development are expected to be announced. In the meantime, the collaboration between Adur District Council and Boutique Modern is a promising step towards providing affordable, sustainable housing for the Adur district.
