A revised plan to redevelop a former plastics factory in Bestwood is expected to secure approval this week, paving the way for more than 100 affordable homes on a long-disused site. Nottingham City Council’s planning committee is set to consider the proposals for the former Chronos Richardson site off Wyton Close, with officers recommending approval.
The scheme, submitted by MyPad and Nottingham Community Housing Association, outlines 113 affordable units made up of 95 two-storey houses and 18 flats across three low-rise blocks. It replaces an earlier 2022 consent for 62 homes and a supermarket that was never progressed.
Planning documents state the project would include new public spaces and landscaping to support future residents and improve the wider area. The development is positioned to expand local housing supply and bring the brownfield site back into productive use, offering benefits for construction firms, suppliers, and service providers once work begins.
