Derby-based developer Wheeldon Brothers is set to deliver more than 100 new affordable homes in Langley Mill following a deal with Places for People.
Wheeldon, which has been operating in the East Midlands since 1867, has partnered with the UK’s largest social enterprise to deliver 109 new homes at the site located off Bridge Street.
Under the partnership, the eight-acre brownfield site will be transformed into a combination of two- and three-bedroomed houses and two-bedroomed bungalows across a mixture of tenures.
Theo Till, land manager at Wheeldon Brothers, said: “This is a site that has sat vacant for a number of years in the heart of Langley Mill, which is now set to be transformed into much-needed new homes for the area.
“The development will include 109 new homes and a mix of tenures including affordable rent and shared ownership, which will cater to a variety of local housing needs.
“We are very pleased to be working in partnership with Places for People to deliver this fully affordable scheme; our great emphasis on delivering quality new homes combined with their outstanding reputation will ensure that local people will benefit from high quality yet affordable homes.”
Copping Joyce and Ward Hadaway LLP advised Places for People while Wheeldon was advised by CMS Cameron McKenna Nabarro Olswang LLP during the deal.
Construction is set to start in Spring 2025 with homes expected to be available via Places for People from Summer 2026.
