Gravelly Crescent, Lancing

About the site

A former garage compound off Gravelly Crescent in Lancing is the latest small site we're building new council homes on.

We're building 4 three-bedroom, 2 two-bedroom and a one-bedroom home on land that was previously the site of old garages and hardstanding but which had become a target for flytipping.

After the site has been cleared and the foundations have been prepared, the new houses will be assembled by our contractor, Boutique Modern, using factory-built modules - a modern method of construction which means less waste plus far less disruption from building work for citizens living nearby.

The new houses will be highly insulated and therefore will be energy efficient and cheaper to run for our future tenants.

We're championing the modern methods of construction (MMC) approach, such as the use of structural insulated panels and modular house-building techniques, throughout our new projects.

The new homes are being funded from the sale of other council houses to tenants, known as Right to Buy receipts. This money is ring-fenced, meaning it's specifically set aside for securing new, affordable homes in Adur.
