When Broxtowe Borough Council needed to build additional affordable homes in Beeston, Nottingham, they decided to make good use of land they already owned. AtkinsRéalis were appointed via the Pagabo framework to bring the plans to fruition.
Broxtowe Borough Council’s Housing Strategy 2020-2024 and 2019 Housing Delivery Plan prioritizes the need to build additional affordable houses while also investing in safety and energy efficiency. The council’s 2019 Housing Delivery Plan identified underused land in their portfolio, including several sites containing garages.
As per the Housing Delivery Plan, proposals were formulated to redevelop six infill sites in total, including the purchase of a former pub site. This will create 28 energy-efficient homes: 23 houses (2-3 bedrooms) and five flats (1 bedroom). Carbon emissions will be 30 per cent lower than 2013 Building Regulations requirements. We have a longstanding relationship with Broxtowe Borough Council and were confident that we could help them achieve great results within an appropriate budget, contributing to safe and pleasant communities for their residents.
We are appointed as lead multi-disciplinary design consultants, providing project management, cost management, and health & safety services. Our appointment is via the Pagabo framework, which has provided the council with a swift route to the market and access to our approved supply chain, without the need for multiple tenders.
Our team advised the council on density, ensuring the optimum mix of dwelling types, to meet local needs and create best value. As a council-funded affordable housing proposal, the scheme has naturally attracted community interest. Our team participated in public consultations and supported the council in making adjustments where necessary.
June 2022 Building Regulations update presented a challenge as the project was then at mid-design stage. Our building surveying team successfully navigated the changes, ensuring continued compliance, and advising on new requirements such as electric vehicle charging infrastructure and associated costs. Energy efficiency is a priority, and we are harnessing the expertise of our in-house sustainability team, to ensure use of the most cost-effective design and features. Green space and biodiversity net gain are part of the regeneration aims with a community pocket park under consideration.
As the project progresses towards construction, our well-informed design and procurement strategy protects the councils' interests and sets the scene for 28 excellent new homes.
