Alongside the new homes, a parsonage and a retail unit are also being delivered by Nottingham City Homes (NCH) and contractor Woodhead Group.
Being developed by Nottingham City Homes (NCH) and contractor Woodhead Group, on behalf of Nottingham City Council, the new homes will be built on the site of demolished flats and shops on Knights Close in Top Valley.
The homes, which include 13 two-bed houses, five four-bed properties and two two-bed flats, will be built to high energy efficiency standards. Also included on the site will be a retail unit and a parsonage, which has been commissioned and paid for by the local diocesan.
The new homes are the latest of the ‘Building a Better Nottingham’ developments in the north of the city, after planning permission was approved last year. This housing scheme is part of a longstanding partnership between the Woodhead Group and NCH which has delivered 164 homes so far.
Nick Murphy, Chief Executive for Nottingham City Homes, said: “It’s going to be a busy year for new builds in Nottingham as we start work on our Top Valley development. We are investing further in creating good quality new council homes where people want to live.”
Cllr Linda Woodings, Portfolio Holder for Planning and Housing at Nottingham City Council, said: “Together with Nottingham City Homes and other partners we’re developing a mix of properties across the whole city, from much-needed family housing to bungalows and independent living schemes which meet the needs of local people in Nottingham.
“Sites which are no longer fit for purpose are being replaced with new, energy efficient, quality homes where people want to live.”
Tom Woodhead, Director at Woodhead Group said: “What makes our latest project unusual is the addition of the parsonage and retail unit as it replaces the grounds last remaining shop, which will better serve the needs of the local residents.”
The project has been delivered through Efficiency East Midlands (EEM), a not-for-profit procurement consortium for the public sector. Contractors are now on site and the work is expected to be completed in summer 2020.
