Housebuilder claims progress on Nottinghamshire estate despite resident concerns

A housebuilder has claimed its Nottinghamshire estate is getting back on track despite continued concerns from some residents. Fairgrove, which has been heavily criticised by councillors and homeowners over its redevelopment of Kimberley's historic brewery off Hardy Street, has said it has made "very positive" progress in recent months.

Broxtowe Borough Council councillors had also questioned if planning conditions have been broken at the site, as a planned central reservation had not been completed and there had been little sign of progress at the brewery's prominent tower. But in recent weeks construction has started on a central island for pedestrians, which was required as part of the initial planning conditions for the development, with Fairgrove stating construction is moving forward across its site.

Nine Corners was closed on April 2 between Main Street and Station Road and will remain shut until April 23 for the roadworks, which will also provide a right-hand filter into the new Nettleship Road. Despite the new roadworks and Fairgrove's assertion that steady progress was being made at the former brewery, frustrated resident Andy Bond doubted the estate would make significant progress any time soon.

"The planning department put requirements which meant certain works had to be done by set milestones. None of this has been done to date and so I’m not hugely confident that the work will get progressed."
