Unique village centre site sold for new housing in Melbourne, Derbyshire

A development opportunity in the market town of Melbourne has been sold to Cameron Homes by Loughborough-based specialist land and development consultancy Mather Jamie who acted on behalf of the landowner.

Formerly used as the Melbourne Senior Citizens Community Centre, the site is an extraordinary development opportunity which benefits from full planning permission for the demolition of existing building and the erection of five new high-quality dwellings with associated amenity space and car parking. Plot sizes range from 1,065 sq ft to 1,700 sq ft.

Commenting on behalf of Mather Jamie, Development Surveyor, Sam Tyler, said: “Melbourne is a thriving village on the edge of the National Forest, and 8 miles south of Derby.

“With more than 60 restaurants and shops on offer nearby, the potential to have quality housing within the village centre will be a much added boost to the local economy and a huge attraction for new home owners.”

Cameron Homes began designing and building individual homes in 1994. Its ethos is to take the right parcel of land in the right location to create beautiful homes that owners would fall in love with, that blend with existing communities, and enhance the surroundings.

Elliott Lawley from Cameron Homes added: “This site and its location fits our development model perfectly. Our plan is to be very sensitive to its conservation area location, in the very heart of Melbourne, whilst also meeting the demands of the local community.

“Mather Jamie has been a pleasure to deal with and extremely professional and co-operative during negotiations.”
