Fresh homes plan for former Raleigh headquarters

More than 100 new homes could soon be built on the former site of Raleigh in Church Street, Eastwood

Fresh plans have been lodged to build homes on the site of bike manufacturer Raleigh's former headquarters.

Developer Homes by Honey wants to build 125 properties in Church Street in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire.

Broxtowe Borough Council granted outline planning permission for the scheme in January but has now been asked to approve the proposed design, layout and appearance of the scheme.

Raleigh moved to a new head office, at Durban House in Eastwood, in 2024 after being based in Church Street since the early 2000s.

Road access will come from the south off Church Street, with pedestrian access also planned from the north of the site, plans show

The Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) said the new estate would cost £41m and be called Raleigh, in a nod to the site's past.

Planning documents have shown road access will come from the south off Church Street, with pedestrian access also planned from the north of the site, along with the creation of new green space areas situated around the centre and edges of the development.

The developer has also committed financial contributions of more than £1m towards education, healthcare and bus services in the local area.

A final decision on the development will be made by the borough council at a later date.
