The £191m project is situated north of Hucknall town centre and was granted outline planning permission in April 2021 as part of Nottinghamshire County Council’s flagship mixed-used scheme.

Contracted with the council in 2023, the site will include 21 acres of employment land, a local centre with a retail offering and a new primary school.

The 86-acre site will host a range of two, three and four-bedroom homes, maisonettes and apartments. Of these, 269 will be allocated as affordable housing with 97 available through PRS providers.

The remaining 397 will be available on the open market through Vistry’s Linden, Bovis and Countryside brands.

In addition, Vistry is investing £6m in the local community. This includes £436,000 towards healthcare, £4,750,000 for education and £800,000 in transport.

"We are delighted to have secured reserved matters planning consents which enable us to start work on these much-needed new family homes at Top Wighay,” said Andy Reynolds, managing director of Vistry Group’s partnerships division in the South East Midlands.

“Over the past year we have consulted with the community to finalise the details of the scheme and ensure it meets local people’s needs. Our team cannot wait to start building a fantastic community of high-quality properties for people in the area to call home.”

Work is expected to start on the development in spring 2025.
