Plans have been submitted for a significant housing project in Bolsover, Derbyshire, which could see the construction of 547 new homes. The development, part of the local housing plan, includes 212 homes as the next phase of Persimmon’s ongoing Castle Walk project, located near the town centre. The proposed homes, ranging from two to four bedrooms, will be built to meet new energy efficiency standards and feature solar panels and electric vehicle chargers.
The development will also incorporate a 10-acre town park, public spaces, and significant investments in local infrastructure. Under section 106 agreements, Persimmon has committed £3.5 million for a new school, £1.8 million for primary and secondary education, £700,000 for park development, and further contributions to road upgrades and community projects.
The project also includes provision for a primary school and an extra care facility, as well as a new spine road to alleviate traffic congestion on Welbeck Road.
