Bellway Essex Head of Sales, Jenny Walker, said: “This will be a great opportunity for us to continue the regeneration of Chelmsford using brownfield land, following on from the success of our current Marconi Evolution site in the city.” It is planned that the first plots will be released for sale in early 2020.
