Village centre site sold for new housing development
A development opportunity in Melbourne, Derbyshire has been sold to Cameron Homes in a deal brokered by Mather Jamie.
The site, previously the Melbourne Senior Citizens Community Centre, has full planning permission for the demolition of the existing building and the construction of five new homes, along with associated amenity space and car parking.
The plot sizes range from 1,065 sq ft to 1,700 sq ft.
Mather Jamie, development surveyor, Sam Tyler, said, “Melbourne is a thriving village on the edge of the National Forest, and eight miles south of Derby. With more than 60 restaurants and shops on offer nearby, the potential to have quality housing within the village the centre will be a much-added boost to the local economy and a huge attraction for new homeowners.”
Elliott Lawley from Cameron Homes said: “This site and its location fits our development model perfectly. We plan to be very sensitive to its conservation area location, in the very heart of Melbourne, whilst also meeting the demands of the local community. Mather Jamie has been a pleasure to deal with and extremely professional and cooperative during negotiations.”
