New build homes in Herongate
New Homes Built to Last in Herongate
A new build home gives you the chance to create a house designed around the way you live, with the layout, finish and energy performance you want, all built to current regulations. With Herongate’s detached homes and country setting, Herongate is a place where many owners choose to replace an existing house or build on a plot rather than move.
Because we carry out the groundworks, foundations, drainage and brickwork ourselves, we keep tight control of quality and timescales. You deal with Mark or Tom directly, from the first site visit to the day you move in.
- Site set-up, clearance & groundworks
- Foundations, drainage & service connections
- Brickwork, structure & roofing
- First fix, second fix & internal finishes
- Building control inspections & sign-off
- NHBC or equivalent 10-year structural warranty
Herongate, CM13
New Build Homes in Herongate: Local Knowledge
Herongate is a village south of Brentwood on the A128, a short drive from our office in Hutton. It sits beside Thorndon Country Park, with its woodland and open parkland. That means planning and building control go through Brentwood Borough Council. The surrounding countryside is Green Belt, and many homes here are detached properties in substantial plots.
Our office in Hutton is around 2 miles from Herongate as the crow flies, so we are close at hand for site visits and while your project is on site. We also work regularly in nearby Ingrave, Hutton Mount and Hutton.
Planning & approvals in Herongate
Herongate is in the CM13 postcode area, and planning applications and building control for projects here are handled by Brentwood Borough Council. We work alongside you, your architect and the council from the start, so the right approvals are in place before work begins. Essex Highways looks after the roads and footways, which matters for anything that affects the public highway, such as skips, deliveries, drainage connections or a dropped kerb.
Why use a local builder?
Being based in Hutton means we know the ground conditions, councils and suppliers around Herongate. You deal directly with Mark or Tom Boswell, who can visit your property, talk through your plans and give you an honest quotation.
Self build homes
Self Build Homes in Herongate
Building your own home is hugely rewarding, but it helps to have an experienced builder on your side. Whether you have bought a plot, have planning for a replacement dwelling or are still at the design stage, we can help you turn your plans into a finished home.
Every self builder is different, so we work the way that suits you — taking on the whole build, or delivering the stages you would rather leave to a professional while you manage the rest.
Full build
We manage and build the whole project for you — groundworks, structure, roofing and finishes — with one point of contact and one programme from start to finish.
Stage by stage
Prefer to stay hands-on? We can take on specific stages such as groundworks and foundations, brickwork or the structural shell, leaving you to complete the rest.

Who handles planning for a new build in Herongate?
New homes in Herongate need planning permission from Brentwood Borough Council, and the build is inspected under building regulations. We work with you, your architect and the council, and we can review your approved drawings before we quote.
How long does a new build home take?
Every project is different. Timescales depend on the size and specification of the house, the site and the approvals needed. We’ll give you a realistic programme when we quote.
Can you build on a garden or infill plot?
Yes. We build new homes on land next to or behind existing properties, planning carefully around access, neighbours and drainage.
Are you NHBC registered?
Yes. Boswell Builders is an NHBC registered builder, so the new homes we build can be covered by a 10-year structural warranty. We are also LABC registered.
