Our first 381 new homes, including affordable housing, will realise the ambition to deliver a higher quality of housing for the local community. Designed to be a combination of modern design and character detail, paying particular attention to sustainability and wellbeing, our home plans will show what it will be to live, work and play at One Horton Heath.

The Lower Acre delivers an exciting mix of urban and rural design with a focus on people and connected places throughout. Explore our character areas and design features in the first new homes on One Horton Heath.
Lower Acre - Character Areas
The Roughets
The Roughets are small clusters of new homes set up around farm-type courtyard spaces responding to the character of the existing home on Burnetts Lane.
The Acre
The Acre contains an acre of green open space at the heart of the first new homes. This Acre reflects our strategy for the whole of One Horton Heath by putting high quality public realm within a short and safe walk of every front door.
Cycle Greenway
Running north from The Acre towards the Local Centre the Cycle Greenway is a segregated cycle and pedestrian lane that captures the sustainable ethos of One Horton Heath.
