Green light for energy-efficient resi development

How the homes will look

Plans to create 60 new energy-efficient homes on derelict farmland at Bramcote in Nottinghamshire have been given the green light.

Having acquired a site off Sidings Lane and Coventry Lane from a private landowner, Keepmoat will carry out a period of remedial works before delivering a development of one, two, three and four-bedroom homes, 30% of which will be affordable.

The site is currently occupied by old farm buildings and outhouses.

Plans for the development also include the retention of green spaces that will result in a 27% net gain in biodiversity, as well as the regeneration of an existing tree-lined pond.

Work on the scheme is due to begin imminently, with completion expected in around two years’ time.

Shaun Fielding, regional managing director at Keepmoat, said: “It’s with great pleasure that we can announce the planning approval of 60 new energy-efficient homes in Bramcote, with thanks to Broxtowe Borough Council.

“As a housebuilder, we are aware of the need for modern, eco-friendly homes that are fit for the future, and with this development, we aim to deliver a collection of contemporary designed homes complete with all the latest in energy-preserving technology, in an idyllic semi-rural setting with access to the stunning greenspaces of the region.”
