Award winning Developer to revamp Robin Hood Chase

Wilmott Dixon the Developer behind the successful St Ann’s Valley Centre is also the new developer for phase 2 of the ambitious scheme to regenerate the Robin Hood Chase nearby.

ASRA Housing association will manage the houses to be built on the Chase upon their completion.

City Council Project Manager Gill Callingham, who along side Alan Parker are managing the Robin Hood Chase redevelopment, said today “Wilmott Dixon had done such a nice job building the St Ann’s Valley centre, and they worked really well with the local community, we felt it was important to have them on board from the outset.”

She said Wilmott Dixon have now drawn up the new plans for the Chase, and are presently working with ASRA and the city council to finalise the number of homes to be built in order to make the scheme financially viable.

Once this is complete, and contracts signed, there will be wide ranging consultations with local shopkeepers, and the local community taking place. The planning application will to be submitted in July, and any demolition work on the redundant commercial units, and former health centre, will take place in the autumn around November 2013.
