29 October 2008
Hallam Land Management the strategic land subsidiary of Henry Boot plc, have received the planning green light from Mansfield District Council for 259 new homes on its 32 acre site at Rushpool Farm, Sandlands Way, Mansfield.
The exciting new scheme will provide a variety of property styles from detached, semi-detached and terrace houses as well as a number of apartments. The development will offer flexible mixed accommodation with 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 bedroomed designs built on a 1, 2, and 3 storey basis, providing a choice for all sectors of the housing market.
The scheme is made up of two distinct areas, one a traditional housing development of 233 properties and the other a farmyard complex of three courtyards comprising of 16 houses and 10 bungalows.
The plans include landscaping features blending in new hedge planting with existing fauna, along with footpath and cycle links. The overall scheme is completed by a large public open space area which splits the two distinctly separate housing developments.
The residential development will complement Hallam's district centre scheme on Sandlands Way, already under construction, which comprises a public house/restaurant facility, fast food operator and several other retail units.
Bob Brown Managing Director for Hallam Land Management commented "I am delighted that we have obtained a planning permission for this scheme which will deliver much needed housing for the people of Mansfield."
