An office block has been bought by Crawley Borough Council with the potential to add 121 new homes to its affordable housing stock.

Purchase of Longley House in Southgate was completed last week, and the site already has planning approval for apartments to replace the existing building.

With brownfield land in the borough in such short supply, the council was keen to secure this site for affordable housing rather than see it developed by a private enterprise.
