Partnership to bring forward affordable homes at landmark Nottinghamshire scheme

Vistry has partnered with Jigsaw Homes Group to develop more than 40 affordable properties at a landmark development in Nottinghamshire. 

This collaboration marks a significant milestone for the 763-home development in Linby, north of Hucknall. The project, supported by Nottinghamshire Country Council, will offer a mix of two-, three- and four-bedroom homes, maisonettes, and apartments.

The deal between Vistry and Jigsaw will see 43 affordable units created at the scheme, which is known as Linby Meadows. 

Andy Reynolds, managing director for Vistry South East Midlands, said: "Together, we’re building more than just homes, we're creating a thriving new community where families can flourish

"After listening to local residents and shaping the scheme to meet their needs, we're now on site, building a new community of high-quality, mixed-tenure properties for people in the area to call home."

Garnet Fazackerley, operations director of development at Jigsaw Homes Group, added: "As a significant housing development providing new homes via a Section 106 agreement, this scheme demonstrates how planning policy can meaningfully deliver both quality new homes for sale and much‑needed affordable housing. This project is a strong example of how partnerships can translate policy into real, positive impact for local communities. 

"There is a real and growing need for quality, affordable homes in this area, and we're proud to join forces with Vistry to provide properties that offer comfort, security and opportunity for local people. 

"Our partnership is about more than bricks and mortar – it's about supporting communities and creating green, welcoming spaces for everyone."

The land acquisition from the council in March 2025 has unlocked a £6m investment in local services including funding for education, highways, public transport, and healthcare. The scheme will also introduce new parks, sports facilities, wildlife corridors, and pedestrian and cycle routes, as well as a new primary school.
