About the homes
The regeneration of Andrews Place and Rainsford Lane aims to deliver a much-needed increase in affordable housing in the heart of Chelmsford. The proposed plans would provide a mix of types of properties – from apartments to family houses – with the ambition of providing around 250 new homes for local people.
Later living
We are committed to providing dedicated homes designed for older people. We called these Later Living homes. These homes will be designed with older people in mind to promote and support independence. We’re working with CHP customers to help us shape the design of these homes to consider current and future needs.
Public spaces
A large part of our proposed plans focuses on creating a place local people can enjoy and feel proud of. This includes green spaces and an attractive “gateway” to the local park. We are also exploring how we bring the history of the area to life through the inclusion of public art.
