Arlesey Road Stotfold

Aerial drone photography is transforming the way construction progress is monitored and showcased. At the Cala Homes construction site on the west side of Arlesey Road in Stotfold, drone photography provides an unparalleled perspective of the development. By capturing high-resolution images from above, drones reveal the true size and scale of the project, far beyond what ground-level photography can offer.

This bird’s-eye view highlights how the new homes integrate with the existing town and neighbouring residential areas, offering stakeholders, residents, and potential buyers a clear understanding of the site’s layout and progress over time. Regular drone flights can document each stage of construction, providing an accurate visual record that supports reporting, marketing, and community engagement.

Aerial photography is more than just striking imagery — it’s a practical tool for transparency, communication, and demonstrating how the development complements the local environment.

Arlesey Gate – Miller Homes

Arlesey Gate is a new housing scheme being constructed by Miller Homes on Stotfold Road in Arlesey, Bedfordshire, forming the first phase of the wider “Chase Farm” sustainable urban extension. The development will eventually deliver 950 homes, including the initial 200 homes owned by Miller Homes. There will be a mix of private and affordable housing, with about 40 homes designated as affordable in the first phase. Home-types will range across 2 to 5 bedroom semi-detached and detached houses, many featuring garages or off-road parking, gardens, and layouts designed to support modern living (e.g. open plan kitchen/diners, home-working space etc.).

Beyond housing, the project includes a wide array of community infrastructure: a primary school, care facility (80 beds), retail space, employment land, healthcare facilities, sports pitches, cycle/walking routes and other leisure amenities. The location is well-connected: about a 10-minute walk to Arlesey train station, with services into London in roughly 40 minutes.

Fairfield Park in Bedfordshire is a beautiful village with a rich history and a vibrant community. It is home to some stunning landmarks, including St. Luke’s Chapel, Fairfield Hall, and the Blue Lagoon.

Fairfield Hall is another iconic building in the town, with a rich history dating back to the 18th century. A drone can capture the grandeur of the building and its stunning grounds, with their manicured lawns and beautiful gardens.
