Cotgrave – Expected to launch later in the month, the development, situated off Hollygate Lane, will feature a total of 189 properties upon completion.
It marks Barratt Homes’ return to the area following the successful completion of its former Hollygate Park development in 2019.
In partnership with the local authority, Barratt Homes has committed to enhancing the Cotgrave area through a range of improvements to local facilities, infrastructure, education, and health services.
The investments include a contribution of more than £114,100 towards highway improvements, including the A52, along with £56,994 allocated for a pedestrian crossing.
Additionally, £764,888 will be allocated to support a local primary school, including funding for improved school bus services.
Contributions to waste management will exceed £14,300, while £4,500 will be dedicated to maintaining green spaces and pathways that connect to the development.
Furthermore, Barratt Homes will invest £191,727 in local bus services, including enhancements to bus stops on High Hazels Road and Morkinshire Lane.
Mark Cotes, Managing Director at Barratt Homes North Midlands, said:
“We are excited to return to Cotgrave with our Hollygate Green development, a project that reflects our commitment to both quality housebuilding and community enhancement.
“The significant investments we’re making in local infrastructure, education, and green spaces demonstrate our dedication to creating not just homes, but vibrant communities where families can thrive.
“Hollygate Green will be a shining example of sustainable living, blending modern amenities with extensive environmental features, and we are proud to be contributing to the long-term prosperity of the Cotgrave area.”
In addition to the financial contributions being injected into the local community, the homebuilder will also incorporate numerous sustainability initiatives at the development, aimed at enhancing the local environment and promoting biodiversity.
Hollygate Green is set to feature six bird boxes and 19 bat boxes across the site. Over 320 new trees and more than 6,110 new hedgerows will be planted, primarily surrounding the outskirts of the development, and a community allotment will be created in collaboration with another developer.
A dedicated play area will be included for children, and hedgehog highways will be integrated into the design, with a minimum of two per property situated at the rear of the gardens. Each property will also be equipped with an electric vehicle charging point, either wall-mounted or floor-mounted.
The homes will be constructed using timber frames and will include photovoltaic solar panels, ensuring that every property contributes to sustainable energy use. In total, the development will include up to 25.82 acres of biodiversity areas.
Hollygate Green is set to consist of a mix of two- to five-bedroom homes and will feature the first home of its kind by the developer, with an interlocking brick system showcased as part of one of the show homes.
Located near Cotgrave Country Park and Grantham Canal, residents can easily enjoy outdoor activities while benefiting from excellent road links, including the A606, A46, A52, and M1.
The development is well-served by local amenities such as a shopping centre, post office, library, and leisure centre. Families will appreciate the proximity to highly-rated schools, including the Ofsted-rated ‘Outstanding’ Cotgrave Candleby Lane School.
