PSW have completed this spectacular development, set in the historic village of Burwash.
The project has delivered 15 affordable rent homes for the over 55’s as well as the four Shared Ownership houses which have been extremely popular.
We were involved from the start and worked to ensure that the planning process was as smooth as possible with care and consideration given the nature of the area, resulting a land-led scheme which respects both context and place.
Trinity Homes were awarded the contracted and they demonstrated their determination to work with our Clerk of Works and build a beautiful development local people would love.
The site was previously occupied by a 1960’s built older people’s scheme which was no longer fit for purpose.
Burwash is located within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and so was deserving of an equally beautiful and sympathetic development. PSW, Optivo and the wider project team worked closely with Rother District Council and Burwash Parish Council to create homes fitting for the area. Features of the development included handmade tiles which blend with the surrounding area.
A key part of building beautiful schemes is reflecting the local vernacular and using local materials. The scheme incorporates English Red and Sussex Blue Grey bricks that are characteristic of homes in the village. The proportions and glazing patterns of windows reflect those in the terrace opposite.
Steven Neal, Director at PSW and Employers Agent for the project said: “This project has been delivered on time and to a remarkably high standard of design and finish. This is one of those projects that everyone involved can be proud of.”
