Land deal brings 1,050 Notts homes a step closer

Over 1,000 new homes have moved a step closer after The Crown Estate completed the sale of land north of Bingham to Barratt and David Wilson Homes.

The agreement means the housebuilder can now start on-site.

The 225-acre site, which has outline planning permission for 1,050 homes, forms part of a substantial extension to the north of Bingham.

The Bingham North masterplan sets out plans for a new community to the north of the town, with space for new local shops, a primary school, a community centre, and public space including a park and lake.

The masterplan was adopted by Rushcliffe Borough Council in 2013 and details out how to meet local housing and infrastructure needs over the next 10 years.

Steve Melligan, strategic land manager at The Crown Estate, said: “We are pleased to have completed sale of this site which will deliver much needed new homes for Bingham, as identified through the council’s own assessment. We look forward to seeing Barratt and David Wilson Homes start on-site.”
