The new planned public spaces will feature allotments, community orchards, footpaths, cycleways, and outdoor gyms, among others. 

Furthermore, the development will contribute £5.6m ($7.26m) towards local community services and facilities.  

This fund will support a range of improvements, including the provision of a fully serviced and level site for a primary school, and more. 

Construction is anticipated to commence in early 2025, with the first homes expected to be occupied by early 2026.   

Earlier this month, Vistry Group entered into an agreement with Metropolitan Thames Valley (MTVH). 

This deal will deliver 122 new homes across three developments in the East Midlands region of England, including a forward purchase by MTVH of 90 homes in Nottinghamshire.
