Clowes and Bellway have joined forces with their combined land holdings in Chellaston to form Snelsmoor Grange.

The planning application for the residential development was submitted jointly to Derby City Council and received approval in March 2022.

The 800-home development will form part of Boulton Moor, a larger settlement on the outskirts of Chellaston.

Following the news of the successful application, Clowes Developments have sold their share of the land holdings to Bellway to enable the national housebuilder to progress with the residential development..

Clowes Developments Director, Thomas Clowes commented on the deal: “We are delighted to finally see this scheme coming to fruition. The relationship between Clowes and Bellway spans many years, collaborating on a number of projects up and down the UK. Snelsmoor Grange has presented a unique opportunity to work together and deliver another exciting development.”

Paul Coleman, Managing Director of Bellway East Midlands, said: “Derby City Council’s resolution to grant planning permission for this new residential development in Chellaston is very pleasing for everyone who has worked incredibly hard to put forward the proposed scheme. We have worked very closely with Clowes to secure this agreement, building on our longstanding relationship with the team there.

“Bellway is looking forward to delivering the new Snelsmoor Grange development and will announce further details on the project once construction work begins on site in the near future.”

As well as the 800-residential dwellings, Snelsmoor Grange will have a village park and various social-amenities. The development will also provide a brand-new primary due to open as early as September 2023. The school will be able to accommodate 315 primary and 39 nursery pupils.
