Nottingham Developer Blueprint are behind plans to build a new Asda store on the former Wright & Dobson factory site in Carlton Road next to the Stonebridge Park Estate, along with new houses on the site of the old Co-op store nearby.
Blueprint applied for funding to the government Homes & Communities Agency in the spring, under the Building Homes for the Future program. However, the developer recently withdrew its application which came as a complete surprise. This has raised concerns that the building of the new affordable houses may not go ahead.
Peter Conboy of Blueprint has today clarified the situation:
“I’m the Project Director at Blueprint for the scheme. Blueprint withdrew the Get Britain Building bid for this site because we were unable to meet the strict HCA timescales attached to this funding route. The scheme is still very much on course overall but we’ve had a delay to the planning application submission mainly caused by the time it is taking to get all the legal agreements in place with the other landowners (those other than Blueprint) and with Asda. We have other options for funding the residential part of the scheme and further information on the proposed housing mix will be available with the planning application.”
any idea when Blueprint will submit a planning application for new houses & asda store?
