Housebuilder starts work on West Bridgford scheme

Housebuilder Keepmoat has started work on 90 new homes as part of a £15m investment set to transform abandoned brownfield land in West Bridgford.

The housebuilder acquired the site off Wilford Lane, which formerly housed a disused restaurant and rifle range, in 2020 and secured planning permission to regenerate the land in September last year.

The development will feature one- and two-bedroom apartments and two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom homes.

Robin McGinn, land & partnerships director at Keepmoat, East Midlands said: “We’re pleased to be regenerating a disused piece of land at the heart of West Bridgford that has so much culture and diversity within the existing area.

“Considering the already established community we’re committed to creating new homes that will fit seamlessly within the existing landscape. We are also investing in the local road infrastructure to provide valuable, convenient access to local amenities including schools, restaurants, cafes, gyms and the tram network.”

The new regeneration project, Chateau Mews, has been named after the former Chateau Restaurant which formerly sat on the site
