Seven new homes to be built as part of development of Kings Chase, Witham by East of England Co-op

East of England Co-op has announced that it is to begin work on a new housing development in Kings Chase, Witham. The development will consist of four 3-bedroom houses with gardens, two 2-bedroom flats and one 1-bedroom flat, with all the properties having access to a parking space each.

Kings Chase is off Newland Street in Witham town centre, with lots of amenities in close proximity.

Stuart McDonald, Chief Property Officer for the East of England Co-op, said: “As a community retailer, local people are at the heart of everything we do, and I’m pleased that our co-op is providing new homes for the Witham community. This is an exciting project, and it is a privilege to be able to regenerate an unused area of a busy town.”

Partnering the East of England Co-op and completing the building work on the properties are local construction firm, Elliston Steady and Hawes. A spokesperson for Elliston Steady and Hawes: “We are very pleased to once again be working in partnership with the East of England Co-op property team to construct and develop the Kings Chase site into valuable new properties for the local community. We will work closely with local businesses, subcontractors, and suppliers to help deliver these local homes.”

Demolition and clean-up of the area will begin in the coming weeks, with the project set for completion in January 2026.
