Primula Way, Littleover

Richborough Estates is promoting 81 acres (32.92ha) of agricultural land on the western edge of Derby. The site is situated within South Derbyshire District Council’s administrative boundary.

The site is allocated for up to 600 dwellings within the South Derbyshire Part 1 Local Plan (Policy H16, Primula Way, Sunny Hill), reflecting that it is in a sustainable location on the edge of Derby City.

It is close to local facilities and services in Sunny Hill, Littleover, Stenson Fields and Sinfin, which are easily accessible by public transport, walking and cycling.

In December 2022 we submitted a planning application to South Derbyshire District . The scheme will be of high quality and will respect the character of the area.

The key elements of the proposals are:

• A development comprising of up to 600 new homes of which 30% will be affordable
• A mix of house types in varying sizes
• Vehicular and pedestrian access from Primula Way
• Significant new areas of landscaping and public open space including green corridors
• Retention and enhancement of existing trees and hedges where possible
• A number of new attenuation ponds and associated swale features to address on and off-site surface water drainage and also provide new wetland habitat which will become important ecological features of the site.
