Together we will deliver much-needed family homes for the St Leonards community whilst also building out assets for our long-term partners.”
The 151 homes in St Leonards, Hastings, are a response to the demand for affordable and private rented houses in the area. The project not only contributes to the housing supply but also reflects the Chartway vision of creating sustainable communities with well-designed low carbon housing options.
The SBTR platform is working towards having all new homes delivered from 2030 operate at net zero carbon emissions, in line with Legal & General’s wider commitment to sustainability.

The committee will ensure that all homes and communities are designed specifically with health and wellbeing at their core.
