Representatives from emh group, Bolsover District Council and developers Owl Partnerships recently met to celebrate the start of work to build new affordable homes in South Normanton.
The Meadow is being developed on land to the rear of Red Lane in South Normanton, and will provide 52 new, mixed tenure, affordable homes. This includes 28 homes for social rent and 24 for shared ownership, with a mix of 1-bedroomed maisonettes, and 2-, 3- and 4-bedroomed semi-detached and detached family homes.
Chan Kataria, Group Chief Executive at emh said:
“We’re delighted to have joined our partners at Bolsover District Council and Owl Partnerships to celebrate the start of work on this exciting new scheme. We’re proud of our close partnerships which allow us to develop high quality, affordable homes, enabling local people to meet their housing aspirations. We look forward to seeing the development progress in the coming months.”
Emh is committed to providing high-quality homes to address local housing need and consulted with Bolsover District Council to agree on the type and number of homes to be included at The Meadow.
Local councillor for South Normanton, Emma Stevenson said, “We know there is a shortage of houses across the country and the range of properties on this development will certainly meet a need in the local area. The rented accommodation that will be available is also a welcome addition, enabling us to assist people with social housing.”
The homes, developed by Owl Partnerships, have been thoughtfully designed to reflect the character of homes in the local area, and with sustainability in mind. Residents will enjoy a thoughtfully designed community with nearby amenities and excellent transport links.
It is anticipated that the first homes will be available in summer 2025, with the scheme being completed in winter 2026.
