Richborough successfully brought forward a 4.28-hectare site located east of Chesterfield Road in Matlock.
From early 2021, we worked closely with the local authority to refine the site’s layout in line with existing and emerging guidance on housing mix and climate resilience. This collaborative approach led to outline planning permission on 13th December 2022, subject to Section 106.
Key features of the proposed scheme include:
- 30% affordable housing;
- Footpath upgrades and a new pedestrian crossing to improve connectivity;
- New parking provision;
- A comprehensive Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SuDS) incorporating rain gardens, tree pits, and a swale;
- Retention of existing stone boundary walls to preserve local character;
- Public open space and natural play areas to enhance community wellbeing.
In June 2023, we secured Honey as the development partner and the site is now under construction, being marketed as Hazel. Homes can be viewed here.
This site represents our second successful scheme in Matlock, following the delivery of outline planning consent for 110 dwellings at Asker Lane, which was sold to William Davis.
