Keepmoat Homes puts in it’s planning application

Ian SutcliffeIn St Ann’s Developer Keepmoat Homes Ltd, based in Coleshill, is to build 110 new affordable homes on the Stonebridge Park Estate, as part of the Regeneration Scheme, at a cost of £11m.

Mr Ian Sutcliffe shown here on the left, Chief Executive of Keepmoat Homes informed me “It is widely recognised that Stonebridge is a priority for the area and one where we can not let the good work which has been done to date be undermined, the project will be delivered by our Midlands region. ”

There are to be 29 two bed & 81 three bedroom homes constructed on land in Jersey Gardens, and on the site of the Fairholm Court elderly person complex in Flewitt Gardens, which was demolished in 2009; all of the houses will be for sale.

There will also be two new traffic routs leading into the estate from St Matthias Road. One of the roads will run from the side of the former Lord Alcester pub, along the existing footpath, where it will link up with Flewitt Gardens. The second will be along the existing Jersey Gardens Road with a modified route.

In March Keepmoat Homes Ltd made an application for kick start funding under the Get Britain Building Programme run by the government Homes & Communities Agency and the Developer was short listed. There bid was successful, and in August they were given the funding to go ahead to build all the new houses in phases 3 -6 of the City council run Stonebridge Park Regeneration Scheme.

Housing Development Manager Mr Mark Lowe, of the City Council, informed the recent meeting of Stonebridge Park Tenants & Residents Association “We have been working with Keepmoat Homes since the summer of 2012, and it has been hard work getting everything in place, but we are all very pleased with the outcome.”

The planning application 12/03501/PFUL3 was registered with Nottingham City Council on December 24th, and subject to approval work is expected to begin on site in the summer of 2013.
