New Site Alert – A double deal in Nottingham!

New Site Alert – A double deal in Nottingham!

We’re thrilled to share that we have recently contracted on two new brownfield sites in North Nottingham, working in partnership with Godwin Developments to deliver 102 new homes for Nottingham Community Housing Association (NCHA).

These sites, located on the former Henry Mellish School grounds and former Piccadilly Playing Fields, have stood vacant for over 15 years. Now, they’re set to become vibrant communities offering a mix of two- and three-bedroom homes, available through shared ownership and social rent. This is the type of project that we are proud to transform and bring forward to the community.

Sustainability first: – Energy-efficient build and design – expected to achieve an EPC A-rating – Built with closed panel timber frame construction

Prime location benefits for future residents to enjoy: – Excellent local amenities (supermarkets, good day nursery and school options, retail outlets and GP surgeries within the immediate area) – Strong public transport links to Nottingham city centre and beyond (and just a 10-minute walk to Bulwell train station)

Fran Cropper, New Business and Development Manager at NCHA, shared her excitement about this project, highlighting the importance of delivering affordable, sustainable homes that reduce living costs and carbon footprints for residents.

She said: “We’re really pleased to be working with Nottingham City Council again on this important scheme with social value. This development reflects our commitment to building homes that are both affordable and environmentally friendly, in line with our sustainability targets. With rising energy costs, these homes will provide residents with lower living expenses and a reduced carbon footprint. We’re proud to bring this new housing scheme to Nottingham, addressing local housing needs while paving the way for a sustainable future.”

Mike Kelly, East Midlands Managing Director, said: “It’s been a fantastic experience to work alongside Godwin and NCHA to bring these developments to life. Partnerships are built off the back of hard work, dedication and collaboration and that’s exactly what this venture needed and that’s exactly what it got. Development can be made difficult but with good people and a partners mentality, we can do anything.  Congratulations and well done to the whole team involved.”

Construction will begin on-site soon and we can’t wait to bring these much-needed homes to Nottingham.
