D-Day for Eastwood housing scheme
A planning application has been put forward for a development of 16 new homes in a £2m Eastwood regeneration project.
The development plans to convert the 0.75 acre site into a mix of one and two-bed and three bed properties.
The site on Walker Street currently houses the Victory Club (pictured), a working men’s club which has been disused for the last four years.
Hodgkinson Builders is looking to develop the old Victory Club site in partnership with Futures Housing Group. The scheme is supported by the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) which will be providing grant funding for the development of this scheme.
Ian Hodgkinson, the managing director of Derby-based Hodgkinson Builders, said: “This planning application is a great opportunity to regenerate a disused space and turn it into a development which benefits the local community.
“These plans present an opportunity to help meet the growing demand for affordable housing in the local area and will provide high-quality housing for people requiring good quality housing in Eastwood.”
The decision date for this planning permission application is today (22 March). If approved, the build is forecast to start in April and be completed by March 2018.
