Esquire Developments gain approval from Arun DC for a reserved matters of 90 dwellings in Arundel.
Multi Award-winning* Kent based developer Esquire Developments have made their first move out of Kent after securing their reserved matters application for 90 dwellings in the historic Town of Arundel, West Sussex.
After months of preparations the Reserved Matters application was approved by delegated Authority by Arun District Council in May 2023 and allows Esquire Developments to move forward in partnership with legacy landowner Fitzalan Estates to the next stages of the delivery of the Site
The submission of the Reserved Matters followed the identification of the site in the Arundel Neighbourhood Plan and the approval of an Outline application in 2021.
Working with the Local Community including the Arundel Community Land Trust, who are being gifted the Affordable Homes, the application provides for 90 2-5 bedroom homes alongside substantial areas of open space and landscaping.
The scheme also delivers an area for the local Forest School as well as land to be transferred to the Town Council for their use. The development will be all electric, resulting in a development that is very carbon efficient offering over a 50% reduction in carbon emissions through air source heat pumps and a fabric first approach to the homes themselves.
Andy Wilford Head of Land and Planning at Esquire Developments said “We are extremely excited to be delivering this flagship scheme in Arundel on behalf of the Fitzalan Estates. Being an SME Housebuilder, the scheme will be of high quality and totally bespoke to the area, meaning we have been able to tailor the design to complement the existing character of Arundel. This is a once in a generation scheme for the Town and we are looking forward to commencing construction shortly.”
Starting prices are yet to be released with construction likely to commence in Summer 2023. The development will also host a showhome for prospective buyers to visit and discover more about the bespoke possibilities Esquire has to offer.
Alex Mattingly Head of Sales & Marketing at Esquire Developments said “After high demand and success in Kent through both our large and small developments, we are excited to bring new homes and set new standards to such a highly regarded community. The development will have a Showhome, Sales and Choices suite which will allow prospective clients to personalise their new home from our large selection of high specification finishes, which is a huge benefit of purchasing off plan.
Miss Mattingly continues “We are already receiving enquiries about Arundel Gate which is an encouraging start as we begin to prepare for launch of this highly anticipated development.”
The ‘Arundel Gate’ development is set to launch sales at the end of 2023, with information to appear on the Esquire website, social media channels and Rightmove.
