Construction Trends in Erewash
Erewash's largest proposed housing site is a sustainable urban extension of around 1,000 homes south-west of Kirk Hallam, alongside smaller sites at Borrowash and Hopwell Road, Draycott. Ilkeston town centre was awarded up to 20 million pounds in government funding in October 2025, with its masterplan centred on remodelling the Albion Centre and a northern gateway scheme at Lower Bath Street. Long Eaton has separately secured 25 million pounds through the Local Regeneration Fund, delivering new canal footbridges at Broad Street and Britannia Mills, with the demolished former Galaxy cinema site earmarked for affordable homes. Away from these schemes, established residential areas keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
