Developer opens Nottingham office as activity builds

Developer Richborough has opened an office in Nottingham on the back of substantial growth in activity in the region.

The new office will be led by Anabel Christmas who was recently promoted to senior regional director, and will handle all projects coming forward across the region, which stretches from the East Midlands down to South Cambridgeshire, pushing out beyond Lincoln and into Norfolk.

Newly-appointed planning director Mark Dauncey and regional manager Andrew Meikle will be based with Christmas at the new offices at Lock House on the southern side of the city centre.

Richborough has seen its East region grow considerably in 2024 to over 40 live sites that will see 8,000 homes built and says it is anticipating further expansion in the coming years following the new National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), unveiled in December.

Christmas said: “We’re so pleased to be putting down proper regional roots to represent our commitment to the area. This new shift in planning policy is the kick the industry needs to help make real change to the country’s housing crisis and with government aims to provide 1.5 million new homes unlock potential residential sites, there is appetite to deliver the housing people want and need.

“We’ve worked in the region for well over 15 years. But now with boots on the ground we can collaborate even better with our landowners, agents and development partners to bring things to market more quickly.”
