Nottingham is set to see a significant boost in housing with the development of 200 new homes on surplus railway land. As part of the government’s Platform4 initiative, this project will transform a brownfield site into a thriving residential area.
Platform4, a newly established property development company, is tasked with unlocking railway land across England and Wales for housing projects. In Nottingham, the development is expected to contribute to the creation of sustainable communities while addressing the region’s housing needs.
The redevelopment of this site is part of the government’s broader plan to build 40,000 homes across surplus railway land over the next decade. This project aligns with the government’s brownfield-first approach, ensuring that underused land is repurposed for much-needed housing.
By consolidating property development efforts under one entity, Platform4 aims to streamline processes and deliver developments more efficiently. The profits generated will be reinvested into the UK’s rail infrastructure, supporting long-term growth for both the housing and transport sectors.
