Jones Homes buys land for new 40-home development in Burgess Hill

Jones Homes has acquired a plot of land next to its completed Folders Grove development in Burgess Hill to create a new 40-home scheme.

The company completed the acquisition of the site, which is around four and a half acres in size, on Friday 4 July.

Sara Stanhope, Sales and Marketing Director for Jones Homes Southern, said: “With planning permission in place and the site purchase now completed, we are ready to begin the work on the ground that will bring this additional selection of desirable homes to the area.

“We have planned a neighbourhood that will fit in seamlessly with the existing development and provide much-needed high-quality housing while respecting the landscape.

“The location is attractive and sustainable because the services people need such as healthcare, shopping, schools and public transport, are available nearby. We are very much looking forward to beginning construction of The Oaks at Folders Grove.”

The development will be made up of 28 private homes and 12 affordable homes. The private homes will be two, three, and four-bedroom houses. The site of the new development is off Folders Lane, Burgess Hill.

As part of its planning agreement for the scheme Jones Homes has agreed to invest more than £600,000 in local services and infrastructure. This includes more than £380,000 for education, and money for community buildings, sport, the library service, and play space.

Jones Homes’ existing Folders Grove development, which was completed in 2023, created 73 new homes and as part of its planning agreement the company paid more than £1.2 million towards local services and infrastructure.
