Go-Ahead For New Homes In Nottinghamshire

The next step towards creating a new community of homes at the site of a former colliery in Cotgrave, Nottinghamshire, has taken place, following detailed planning approval being issued by Rushcliffe Borough Council.

The development of 450 new homes, which is the first in the county to have achieved top marks in a new national accreditation system, will be known as Hollygate Park and will be built by sister companies Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes, bringing jobs and investment to the local area.

The detailed scheme was granted following an in-depth consultation with local residents and community groups and is the culmination of years of master planning between the Government’s Homes and Communities Agency who own the land at Cotgrave, Rushcliffe Borough Council and the local community.

The £100m development will provide a mix of quality modern homes as well as underpinning at least 200 jobs and training opportunities locally.

Hollygate Park is one of the first developments in the country to achieve top marks in the Built For Life 12 accreditation, which recognises excellence in design quality, safety and community.

Robert Galij, Planning Director for Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes, said: "We are very pleased that detailed planning permission had been given for this project. We've worked hard with our partners and taken on board the views and ideas of local people and businesses to reach this stage, and this development will offer opportunities for their community, as well as attractive new homes."

This project is being jointly overseen by a partnership of Barratt Developments PLC (parent company of Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes), Rushcliffe Borough Council and the Homes and Communities Agency.

Construction work is expected to start shortly, following the signing of a legal agreement between the partners, with the first homes anticipated to be ready by late 2014/early 2015.
