Countryside Partnerships is going ahead with work to deliver 70 new homes at Whiteleas Avenue in North Wingfield.

The properties, a mix of two, three and four-bed houses plus two-bed bungalows, will all be managed by Rykneld Homes on behalf of North East Derbyshire District Council.

Andy Reynolds, regional managing director for Countryside’s South East Midlands team, said: “We’re delighted to be working with Rykneld Homes and North East Derbyshire District Council again to deliver this significant mixed-tenure development in North Wingfield. The range of dwellings and various tenures will offer the widest possible choice of affordable homes built to the highest standards.”

A number of old properties were demolished in preparation for the new development, which will comprise 48 homes for affordable rent and 22 for open market sale.

Cllr Nigel Barker, leader of North East Derbyshire District Council, said: “The houses previously on this site were only built to last 30 years, whereas the homes that will be built here now will be high quality homes for local families to live in for decades to come. This site will provide much needed housing for our residents and help develop our communities.”

Works are expected to be complete by Summer 2025.
