Nottingham City Council has been ranked among the UK’s top 30 council house builders in a new national list.
The authority is 29th in Inside Housing magazine’s 2026 Biggest Council House Builders list, which measures housebuilding activity during the 2025/26 financial year.
The annual survey, based on Freedom of Information responses from councils across Britain, recorded 11,586 new homes completed by responding authorities during the year.
Nottingham City Council works with contractors to develop homes at sites across the city, including family houses, bungalows and apartments.
Since 2014, the council and its former arm’s-length management organisation Nottingham City Homes have delivered more than 1,000 new affordable homes for rent across more than 40 sites.
The council said it has also spent more than £56 million to date on sites currently under development.
These include Oakdene in St Ann’s, Colston Road in Bulwell and the site of the former Laura Chambers Lodge in Clifton.
Cllr Jay Hayes, Executive Member for Housing and Planning at Nottingham City Council, said: “Being ranked among the UK’s top 30 council house builders is an important recognition of the work taking place here in Nottingham to deliver new homes.
“Building more homes is an important part of meeting the city’s housing needs. We’re working with partners to deliver a range of properties for local people, and we’re also investing significantly in the council homes we already have.
“We know there’s more to do, and we’ll continue to look at opportunities to increase the supply of good-quality, affordable housing across Nottingham.”
