Construction work has begun on a new housing development which is set to launch in Chellaston.
Bellway is building 78 new homes at The Meadows, off Snelsmoor Lane, including 48 properties for private sale and 30 affordable homes for social rent or shared ownership.
The Meadows forms one part of a 245-home scheme being delivered by Bellway in the village, which will also include the adjoining Holbrook Park development.
Detailed plans for the 245 homes were approved by Derby City Council in May this year.
Steve Smith, Sales Director for Bellway East Midlands, said: “The Meadows represents our latest contribution towards meeting the need for high-quality new housing in Chellaston. Over the past seven years, we have delivered over 280 homes at different sites in the village. By the time these two developments have been completed, that figure will have risen to more than 500.
“The Meadows will offer a varied mix of one to four-bedroom properties, ensuring that the needs of a wide range of buyers will be catered for. The three and four-bed properties will be available for private sale, while the one and two-beds will be affordable housing along with some three and four-bedroom homes, too.”
Construction work is now underway at both developments, with the first homes at The Meadows due to go on sale in October.
