Project Detail
Owl Partnerships is delivering 57 affordable homes at the former Piccadilly School playing fields in Bulwell, Nottingham, transforming a long-vacant brownfield site into a new sustainable residential community.
Located on Piccadilly Road, the site has remained unused for more than 15 years and forms part of a wider £23 million regeneration programme being delivered in partnership with Nottingham Community Housing Association (NCHA) and Nottingham City Council.
Known as The Crescent, the development will provide a mix of two and three-bedroom homes available through shared ownership and social rent, helping to address local housing need while bringing underused land back into active use.
Together with the neighbouring Henry Mellish Sports Site development, Owl Partnerships is acting as lead contractor on the delivery of 102 affordable homes across the two Bulwell sites.
Key Features
- The homes are being constructed to achieve a minimum EPC A-rating and will utilise closed panel timber frame construction, supporting improved energy efficiency, reduced carbon emissions and lower energy costs for future residents.
- The development will provide future residents with access to a wide range of nearby amenities, including schools, healthcare services, supermarkets and public transport links.
- Bulwell train station and regular bus services offer direct connections into Nottingham city centre and surrounding areas.
Supported by
The scheme forms part of NCHA’s wider affordable housing delivery programme across the East Midlands and has been supported through partnership working with Nottingham City Council and Homes England.
