Work begins to build new, affordable homes in South Normanton

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.”

Council Leader, Councillor Steve Fritchley backed this sentiment by saying, “We have made no secret that one of our main ambitions is to build more housing. Our population is growing and we have to provide good quality housing for them to be able to live in, not just private homes but good quality affordable social housing as well and this development ticks all these boxes.”

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.

Andrew Browne, Land & Partnerships Director at Owl Partnerships said: “Owl Partnerships are delighted to be working with the emh Team to bring forward the delivery of these much-needed affordable homes to South Normanton. We are dedicated to delivering quality, energy efficient homes that meets the needs of residents. We look forward to welcoming families into their new homes soon.”

It is anticipated that the first homes will be available in summer 2025, with the scheme being completed in winter 2026. All homes will be provided by emh group, who will manage the sale of the shared ownership homes. Those interested in shared ownership homes can This email address is being protected from spambots.
