Clowes and Bellway have joined forces in Chellaston to develop their combined land holdings into an 800 home development forming part of Boulton Moor.

Planning was approved by Derby City Council for the joint residential development in March 2022.

Paul Coleman, Managing Director of Bellway East Midlands, said: “Derby City Council’s resolution to grant planning permission for this new residential development in Chellaston is very pleasing for everyone who has worked incredibly hard to put forward the proposed scheme. We have worked very closely with Clowes to secure this agreement, building on our longstanding relationship with the team there.”

Clowes Developments have sold their share of the land holdings to Bellway following the announcement to enable the national housebuilder to progress with the residential development.

Thomas Clowes, Clowes Developments Director, said: “We are delighted to finally see this scheme coming to fruition. The relationship between Clowes and Bellway spans many years, collaborating on a number of projects up and down the UK. Snelsmoor Grange has presented a unique opportunity to work together and deliver another exciting development.”

As well as the 800-residential dwellings, Snelsmoor Grange will have a village park and various social-amenities. The development will also provide a brand-new primary due to open as early as September 2023. The school will be able to accommodate 315 primary and 39 nursery pupils.
