A Varied Mix of
Affordable Homes
The development provides a thoughtfully balanced range of affordable properties designed to meet the needs of different households within the local community.
Each home has been carefully planned to offer comfortable, practical and contemporary living. Well-proportioned rooms, efficient layouts and access to private or shared outdoor spaces help create homes that feel welcoming and easy to live in.
Energy efficiency has also been considered throughout the development, helping residents manage household costs while supporting a more sustainable approach to modern housing.
The mix of homes creates an inclusive neighbourhood suitable for individuals, couples and families, providing high-quality accommodation in a popular and growing village location.
Creating a
Connected Community
This development is about more than building new homes. It is about creating a neighbourhood where people can feel settled, connected and part of the wider Borrowash community.
Landscaped areas, considered property layouts and welcoming shared surroundings help encourage a positive sense of place.
With local schools, shops, services and transport links close by, residents can enjoy the benefits of village living while remaining connected to Derby, Nottingham and the surrounding region.
The development represents a lasting investment in Borrowash and its future, providing affordable homes while supporting the continued growth of a strong and sustainable community.
Acquisition & Planning
The Harrington Avenue site was selected for its strong residential potential and its location within the established community of Borrowash.
Working closely with Nottingham Community Housing Association, the scheme was developed to respond to local housing demand while complementing the character of the surrounding neighbourhood.
Planning focused on:
- Delivering 29 much-needed affordable homes
- Creating a balanced and welcoming residential community
- Making effective use of the available land
- Providing attractive landscaping and green spaces
- Ensuring the development connects naturally with the surrounding area
The resulting layout balances the need for new housing with comfortable living environments, accessible routes and a strong sense of place.
Design & Architecture
The homes have been designed to provide a contemporary interpretation of established residential architecture, helping the development feel connected to the wider Borrowash community.
Key design principles include:
- Practical layouts created for modern everyday living
- Generous natural light throughout the homes
- A consistent palette of attractive and durable materials
- Clearly defined private, shared and landscaped spaces
- Streets and pathways designed to encourage a welcoming neighbourhood environment
The architectural approach creates a cohesive development while giving each home a clear sense of identity.
The result is a collection of attractive, functional and energy-efficient properties designed to provide long-term comfort for residents.
Construction & Technical Delivery
The development combines high-quality construction with a clear focus on durability, efficiency and resident comfort.
Construction priorities include:
- Consistent quality across all 29 homes

- Carefully coordinated utilities and infrastructure
- Durable finishes selected for long-term performance
