£60m residential development gets the go-ahead

Avant Homes has been given the green light to start work on a £60 million housing development in Ruddington.

Located close to Rushcliffe Country Park on Musters Lane, the 15.89-acre Wilbur Chase scheme will bring 175 new three, four and five-bedroom homes to the area.

Groundworks on the new development are set to commence in March 2020, with the overall scheme expected to take just over four years to complete.

Avant Homes Midlands managing director Tim Brickley said: “We are very pleased to have received planning permission for our Wilbur Chase development in Ruddington.

“We have worked closely with Rushcliffe Borough Council and active members of the Ruddington community in order to make suitable amends to our initial proposal and address concerns raised in connection with the development. We will continue to liaise with the council and local residents throughout the build process.

“In addition to providing high-quality properties, the proposal will bring a range of additional benefits to the area including a community contribution in the region of £1.6m towards local education, highway provisions, transport links for the village, healthcare for Ruddington residents and library facilities.

“We hope to commence works soon and expect to see the first homes released for sale in May 2020.”
