Burgess Hill scheme goes before council planners
Homes England has appointed Aecom as lead consultant for a major development that will deliver up to 3,500 new homes in Sussex.
As lead consultant, the firm will provide multidisciplinary services to support the delivery of infrastructure and new housing at the 176ha Northern Arc project at Burgess Hill.
Aecom鈥檚 appointment follows its previous work with Homes England to deliver the project鈥檚 approved masterplan and prepare the outline planning application.
The mixed-use, sustainable new community includes new schools and community facilities.
Homes England acquired land at the site last year to bring forward early release of the first phases of new homes alongside investing in infrastructure to unlock the site for development.
Ken Glendinning, head of strategic land at Homes England, said: 鈥淏urgess Hill is a great example of how we鈥檙e unlocking complex stalled sites to build more homes more quickly where they are most needed.鈥�
Aecom鈥檚 services will include project management, design, planning, landscape, economics and engagement.
The scheme鈥檚 outline planning application is expected to be approved by Mid- Sussex鈥檚 District Planning Committee this afternoon.
