Housebuilder completes over 460 homes in Derbyshire village

Housebuilder Bellway has completed a 462-home development in the Derbyshire village of Wingerworth.
Construction has concluded at Curzon Park, off Derby Road, marking the end of 10-years of building across three sites in the village.
Curzon Park consists of 169 two, three, four, and five-bedroom private homes, along with 53 properties designated for residents through low-cost rent or shared ownership. All private homes have been sold, and the affordable homes have been handed over.
In addition to the 222 homes at Curzon Park, Bellway East Midlands built 160 new properties at Brailsford Park, off Mill Lane, including 127 private homes and 33 affordable properties.
Construction started in 2015 and finished in 2020.
Furthermore, 80 homes were constructed at Mill Fields, a neighbouring site off Mill Lane, by Ashberry Homes, part of the Bellway Group.
Work began in 2020 and was completed in 2023, resulting in 68 private market homes and 12 affordable homes for residents.
Under section 106, Bellway has also invested over £2.1m in local infrastructure and facilities.
Steve Smith, sales director for Bellway East Midlands, said: “As well as delivering a total of 462 new homes to Wingerworth in the last 10 years, we have brought jobs to the local area during the construction period and made payments of more than £2 million as part of the planning agreements for the three developments.
“These contributions include more than £1 million for primary and secondary schools, more than £900,000 to roads in the area, including improvements to the A61, and more than £220,000 to play areas.
“At Bellway East Midlands, we are very proud of our association and connection with the much sought-after village of Wingerworth. Our commitment to the area has seen us create three new neighbourhoods encompassing vibrant communities where families have put down roots.”
