We have acquired a 4.19-Ha (10.35-acre) site in the West Sussex village of Pagham, with our parent company VIVID. Located within Arun District, the site has Outline Planning Permission for up to 106 new homes, surrounded by extensive public open space, including a play area.

Located off Pagham Road, the main road to the settlement, the proposals will see the delivery of new open market and affordable housing to meet an identified need in a sustainable location. A Reserved Matters application will now be prepared by our team for a collection of high EPC-rated one- to four-bedroom homes designed by Thrive Architects, with 30% of the homes being allocated for affordable housing.

The site benefits from a good level of accessibility for pedestrians. It is a short walk from Pagham village which has a variety of amenities, including local schools, pubs, shops, village hall, church and leisure facilities, while a new local centre and primary school are due to be constructed to the south of Summer Lane.

The site was purchased from Hallam Land via Henry Adams’ land team.

Steve Birch, our Land and Planning Director, said: “This site provides an excellent opportunity to create over 100 wonderful family homes, and is another significant land acquisition to add to our portfolio. We would like to thank the teams at Hallam Land and Henry Adams for their help and cooperation with this site, as well as our legal advisers at Lester Aldridge who have helped us with this acquisition. 

“The team is now preparing a Reserved Matters Application for submission. This site will be an exemplary energy efficient development, which will be constructed and delivered to the highest quality.”

The settlement surrounding the site is varied, with three main character types, including traditional vernacular; mid to late 20th century housing; and recent developments. This is being taken into account and Bargate Homes’ design proposals will reflect the local character of the village.

The proposed development will comprise a variety of building types, consisting of detached, semi-detached, short terrace forms, and apartments. Two parking spaces will be allocated for dwellings of one- to three- bedrooms, and three spaces for houses of four bedrooms, alongside visitor parking.

The local railway station in Bognor Regis provides access to London Victoria and Littlehampton. The station is accessible via frequent bus services close to the site, which continue into the town centre and onwards to Chichester town centre. Pagham Road provides easy and direct access to the wider highway network, via the junction of Sea Lane to the south, and the B2166 Lower Bognor Road to the north.

It’s a great start to 2024 as half of the 322 new homes at our Heritage Place scheme in Stoneham are now either occupied, or forward sold. Positioned within the 120-acre (48.6 Ha) North Stoneham Park neighbourhood within the borough of Eastleigh, the site boasts excellent travel links, acres of open green spaces, a newly built primary school, and additional community facilities.

Located off Hopper Road and built on a former deer park, our Heritage Place development comprises a collection of 322 detached and semi-detached houses. Being built to a high EPC-B rating, residents are able to benefit from significant energy savings and access to Green Mortgage rates. The scheme is the final phase of the wider North Stoneham development, which will feature a total of 1,000 homes.

With 19 homes now occupied by happy residents, and 47% of the site reserved, our homes are getting snapped up off-plan by local buyers. Consisting of three, four, and five-bedroom houses – each with a garage – prices range from £485,000 to £720,000, with Part-Exchange and Assisted Move packages available to qualifying purchasers.

Mark White, our MD said: “We are delighted to have welcomed new residents to Heritage Place during 2023, with many more moving here in the coming months in 2024. There has been a huge amount of interest in this site, due to the convenience of this location, quality of the homes, energy efficiency, and lifestyle benefits, such as new pathways, lakes, and the on-site primary school. We are proud to be delivering the final part of the jigsaw for this exceptional new North Stoneham Park community.”

Don’t just take our word for it…

Kirsty Balicao, a Heritage Place resident, said: “We were delighted when our son Christian was offered a place at Stoneham Park Academy. He was part of the first intake of pupils, nearly three years ago. The two-mile journey from our previous home in Southampton was fraught with traffic, so when we saw Bargate’s plans for Heritage Place, we felt this could be a great opportunity to upgrade from our three-bedroom 1920s house, which had a layout that didn’t suit our family needs.

“When we first moved in, we were really pleased with how low our estimated energy bills were, and having an EV car charging point already installed is a big win. Living in a really efficient, low energy home was a big reason for moving here, and we’re all so pleased we did!”

Come and have a look for yourself…

We have two show homes at Heritage Place, exclusively designed by The Garden Society. The three-bedroom houses feature contrasting interior styles to illustrate key trends, whilst showcasing the quality of the specification and finishes. The furnishings bring to life the full potential of these premium new homes to prospective purchasers.

Bathrooms at Heritage Place are installed with contemporary white Roca sanitaryware, with Porcelanosa floor and wall tiles. Google Nest learning thermostats, electric vehicle car chargers, and fibre broadband, are all installed as standard.

Our show homes are open from 10am – 5pm, seven days a week. For further information, please call 02381 600595, email heritageplace@bargatehomes.co.uk, or visit our web page https://www.bargatehomes.co.uk/new-development/heritage-place/
