Construction Trends in Bolsover

Clowne Garden Village is Bolsover's main strategic housing allocation, with outline plans for around 1,500 homes and 16 hectares of employment land, though delivery of the full site is expected to run well beyond the next five years. Horizon 29, on the former Coalite Chemical Works site, has completed highway works on around 49 hectares of development-ready employment land, with the wider Coalite masterplan also including around 800 homes across the boundary in North East Derbyshire. The council has also approved a new scheme at Alder Close, Shirebrook, delivered through its own Bolsover Homes building programme. Away from these strategic sites, established towns keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
