Bellway starts work on 57 sustainable homes in Burgess Hill, expanding its Fallow Wood View development and boosting regional construction activity.
Housebuilder Bellway has officially commenced construction on two new phases at its Fallow Wood View development in Burgess Hill, West Sussex. This next stage of the project will deliver an additional 57 sustainable homes, building upon the 222 properties currently under construction on land to the east of Isaac's Lane.
The expansion forms part of a wider masterplan for the area, bringing modern, energy-efficient housing stock to the region. The project aligns with ongoing demands for sustainable residential building practices, incorporating energy-saving specifications across the newly planned plots.
For the wider UK construction sector, the commencement of these new phases signals sustained residential output in the South East. Large-scale housebuilding developments like Fallow Wood View provide stable, multi-year pipelines for sub-contractors, groundworkers, and specialist trades Operating across Sussex and the surrounding counties.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for?
For local sole traders and sub-contractors operating in Mid Sussex, the ramp-up of 57 additional plots will directly affect regional merchant stock. Expect increased demand for structural timber, blockwork, drainage supplies, and first-fix fixings at local branches of Travis Perkins, Jewson, and nearby Screwfix outlets. Trades working in the area should ensure bulk materials are booked well in advance to avoid localized stock shortages or delivery delays. Independent tradespeople working on domestic jobs nearby should also remain vigilant regarding site security and tool safety, as large, active residential developments frequently correlate with an increase in opportunistic tool theft from vans in surrounding neighborhood trade corridors.
