Coronation Place is a 20-home, newly completed housing development in Uckfield built on the site of a former retirement living scheme in Southview Drive known as Streatfeild House, which was demolished to provide the new affordable carbon zero ready homes. 18 for social rent and two for purchase on a shared ownership basis – Two homes have been built for wheelchair users and the remainder built to accessible standards.

All of the homes are highly energy efficient with high levels of insulation, and heat pumps have been installed alongside photovoltaic solar panels to generate energy. Each home has achieved an EPC A rating and has an electric vehicle charging point.
