Build commences on Farnborough Road

19 May 2023

This week we gathered together with NCHA, GEDA, Homes England and Nottingham City Council on the former site of South Nottingham College in Clifton to mark the start of this impressive development for NCHA.

We designed this mixed-use development and we will also provide full development services and contract management. The development is due to be completed by Autumn 2024.

The derelict college had been empty for some time, so the development is a welcome improvement for the local community.

Nottingham City Council’s Regeneration Team Leader, Ceri Davies, said: “It’s fantastic to see good quality, specialist development coming forward from the partnership of NCHA and GEDA.

“The development will provide modern options for older people and those with support needs, something that is critical to Nottingham having a housing offer that meets people’s needs and requirements, now and into the future.

“It's also great to see NCHA, one of our most valuable and active delivery partners, locating an office in Clifton, seeing the potential in its amenities and connectivity.”

The new site will include:

New headquarters for NCHA accommodating around 200 colleagues at any one time
50 apartments for older people with onsite support and communal facilities
14 apartments and six bungalows for supported living.
The existing sporting facilities, including the football pitches, club-house, changing rooms and gym will remain, and will help support our ambition to create a vibrant, stand-alone community of colleagues, residents and local people.

GEDA, a multi-skilled construction and development company, have been awarded the contract to complete the build and are really excited to get started.

Aaron Hughes, Managing Director at GEDA, said: “We are delighted to be embarking on this project. The entire project team have been working extremely hard over the past number of months finalising detailed design ahead of this start on site. We are looking forward to working with NCHA and the rest of the delivery team to turn these impressive plans into reality.”
