Raft of jobs in the offing as work begins on North Notts resi scheme

Work has begun on a North Nottinghamshire residential scheme which will create almost 600 jobs for local people throughout the construction process.

Barratt Homes Sheffield’s Knights View development in the village of Langold is expected to bring “significant” investment to the area.

The 296-home development, located on the edge of Langold Country Park, will include 44 affordable properties.

It is scheduled to launch in February 2023.

Gary Chambers, managing director at Barratt Homes Sheffield, was recently joined by the chair of Bassetlaw District Council, Cllr Madelaine Richardson, and vice-chair Cllr Gill Freeman to celebrate the project launch.

Cllr Richardson said: “It was a pleasure to attend the cutting of the soil at the site of the new development. The site will bring jobs for local people whilst under construction and it is always important to make sure the infrastructure is delivered to enhance the popular area of Langold and its surrounding park and amenities.”

Chambers said: “We’re really excited to start work at Knights View and look forward to bringing much needed, quality properties to the area.

“As the development begins to progress, we will not only be contributing to the local area financially, but also in terms of the jobs we have created for local people and the properties we are building.

“Investing in local communities is an extremely important part of building a new housing development. We pride ourselves on our commitment to the local community and strive to support it wherever we can.”
