Ashlands - Housing for the Whole Community

Bellway Homes is planning a development of ca. 300 new homes off Ashland Road West. The residential scheme will provide much needed new housing in the area, offering a range of sizes, types and tenure options.

The majority of the development will be made up of open market housing for sale to local people, interspersed with affordable housing options including affordable rent, shared ownership and smaller units ideal for local first time buyers and key workers such as teachers, and nurses who need to get a foot on the property ladder.

There will also be larger homes with gardens, for growing families. The development will be within easy reach of local facilities such as Brierley Forest Park, that will receive financial contributions to enhance facilities.

We recognise that there are a number of older people in the area who no longer want to (or sadly sometimes can’t) continue to live in their larger family homes. The area lacks smaller sized housing for residents to down-size to while remaining in the area. As a result, many older residents are faced with moving away to retain their independence.

The site is located between Sutton-in-Ashfield and Huthwaite, to the north of Ashland Road West. To the north, the site is bordered by Brierley Forest Park. Bellway is intending to create “green avenues” – walkways for existing local people as well as future residents to ease access to the park. Bellway will also make financial contributions to Brierley Forest Park to enhance facilites.
