Higgins<\/a> has been awarded a \u00a324.5m contract to design and build 120 new homes off Barrow Hall Road in Great Wakering<\/h2>\n

Sanctuary Homes<\/a> \u2013 the development arm of Sanctuary Housing Association \u2013 has appointed Higgins to provide 120 new homes in Great Wakering, Southend-on-Sea.<\/p>\n

The new homes will consist of 110 houses and a range of apartments of different size and tenure to help meet local needs.<\/p>\n

The project will also include the creation of play areas and publicly accessible open space<\/a>, along with a new pedestrian and cycleway linking Barrow Hall Road with Southend Road.<\/p>\n

Design<\/h3>\n

The buildings will be built to complement the local area with dark roofs with brick and occasional rendered walls and comply with Rochford DC Housing Design SPD Jan 2007 and The Essex Design Guide.<\/p>\n

As part of the development, formal and informal landscaping will provide a variety of differing \u2018character\u2019 areas, including formal squares and a boulevard along the primary highway.<\/p>\n

Hedgerows, which are important for wildlife species, will also be enhanced with new planting to provide \u2018ecological corridors\u2019 within the site and beyond.<\/p>\n

Open swales, ponds and basins form part of the sustainable drainage system<\/a> while a large wet feature within the public open space will be provided which will serve as an attenuation pond and encourage diverse wildlife.<\/p>\n

A pumping station, which will be largely underground and hidden from view, will also be built.<\/p>\n

The housing development has been designed by Chaplin Farrant Architects<\/a> and engineer is Richard Jackson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Boosting local housing<\/h3>\n

Steve Leakey, managing director of Higgins, said: \u201cWe are really pleased to be appointed by Sanctuary Homes to provide brand new homes at Barrow Hall Road.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a wealth of experience providing high-quality housing and creating mixed-tenure developments that are inspiring, safe and enhance the local community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to starting on site in the coming months.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sarah Brind, Sanctuary\u2019s head of development \u2013 South, added: \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to be working with Higgins to deliver these much-needed new homes and strengthen our commitment to boosting the local housing market<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe development will help address local housing needs, with a variety of homes available for affordable rent, shared ownership and outright sale.\u201d<\/p>\n
