Ashfield District Council has unveiled plans for a 12-apartment residential development near Kirkby railway station. The development is designed to improve the housing supply and visibility of the station entrance.
The scheme is part of the council’s £62.6 million Towns Fund investment, including completed projects such as the Sherwood Observatory Planetarium and Science Discovery Centre, upgrades to Portland Square, and the ongoing Enterprising Ashfield initiative.
Initial plans for a hospitality development on the site were scrapped following low market interest. The council now aims to submit a planning application this summer, with construction expected to begin in early 2026, subject to approval. The project forms part of the council’s wider regeneration strategy focused on energy-efficient housing and enhancing local infrastructure.
