About the project

An 'ethical developer' creating typologies for socially, environmentally and economically sustainable neighbourhoods. The leading example is The Phoenix, a development of 700 homes, with public amenities and community spaces on a brownfield site outside Lewes. It is demonstrating in real time the key processes required to deliver a model of sustainable placemaking and healthy living.

Local capacity created

  • Potential for health services alongside shops, community and cultural facilities or housing

  • Active local community-led development: CLTs, CDTs, cohousing partners

Impact achieved

  • Accessible services concentrated in places busy with people

  • Well-accepted and funded alternative models for housing, in response to demand
