Fresh homes plan for former Raleigh headquarters

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.

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 £1 million 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.
