Introduction

Bellway Homes is bringing forward development on land west of Station Road in Takeley.

Bellway Homes is looking to submit an outline application for up to 100 high-quality new homes and a new early years and childcare centre to address the need in the local area. Bellway is keen to consult with local stakeholders, groups and the wider public about the future of this important site at an early stage.

Our aspiration is to create a vibrant and sustainable development which is of the highest design quality and benefits the local community.
