Hillcrest Close, Shuttlewood, Bolsover- client: ACIS

This development of 20 homes was provided on a site previously housing a single detached property surrounded by extensive gardens. The site offers lovely views of open countryside whilst still being close to local services and amenities in Bolsover and wider local transport links.

The site was granted planning permission in December 2009 with work commencing on site in March 2010. The properties have been designed by Brian Dearlove Architects and built by Westleigh Developments with development project management services delivered by POD. The majority of the properties are social rented houses together with two apartments and two Rent to Homebuy houses.

The total cost of the project was £2.8 million which was funded with a grant of £1.3million from the Homes and Communities Agency with the balance provided from private finance.

All the houses are provided with solar panel collectors which help achieve level 3 of The Code for Sustainable Homes. The scheme was completed in May 2011 with eager tenants moving in immediately.
