Thank you for visiting the website for the proposed new sustainable community at Whyburn, Hucknall.

This website has been created by Bloor Homes and Peveril Homes to share our vision and provide information about the outline planning application, which has now been submitted to Ashfield District Council.

You can explore the website to learn more about the proposals, including the masterplan and the vision for the new community.

The public consultation on the proposals has now closed, and we would like to thank everyone who took the time to provide feedback. A summary of the engagement undertaken, and how feedback has been considered, is set out in the Statement of Community Involvement submitted as part of the planning application.

The planning application will now be considered by Ashfield District Council, and there will be an opportunity to comment directly to the Council as part of the formal determination process.

We remain committed to keeping the community informed as the application progresses.

Please continue to check this website for updates and further information.

Our Masterplan

We want to create a vibrant new neighbourhood that’s well connected, nature-rich, and genuinely affordable for local people.

Our vision is for:

  • Up to 3,000 new homes including a wide mix of sizes and types
  • A focus on affordability, helping local people, families and first-time buyers stay in the area
  • Green spaces, woodlands, and play areas for everyone to enjoy
  • New facilities like a primary school, local centre, a nursery, and sports areas
  • Safe, easy travel on foot, bike, or public transport

  • An extra care facility to support older residents and those with additional needs.

 

This will be a place where people can live, work, and build their future in a well-designed, sustainable environment.
