Work is progressing on a residential site in Bramcote, Nottingham, that is being developed by Peter James Homes.
BSP Consulting provided a range of engineering services for the scheme at the pre-planning stage and continues to work alongside the developer during the construction phase.
This is the latest in a number of residential schemes that BSP Consulting has worked on for Peter James Homes over many years.
Consultants at BSP provided the transport planning, civil and structural engineering services from the outset and have developed detailed civil and structural engineering designs for construction.
BSP associate director Monika Anszperger said: “BSP Consulting has had a long-standing relationship with Peter James Homes and it’s great to see that work is progressing on this latest residential site in Bramcote.”
Energy efficient homes
Designed by Urban Designs Ltd, Hemlock Gate will offer a mix of two, three, four and five-bedroom houses and bungalows. In total, there will be 169 homes over 22 acres, with 51 allocated to the affordable housing scheme.
Every home will have solar panels, air source heat pumps and electric chargers – making them A-rated energy efficient homes. It is Peter James Homes’ most eco-friendly development to date.
Work started on site in March 2025, after planning permission was granted in 2023. The official marketing suite opened in Autumn 2025.
Simon Gardiner, managing director of Peter James Homes, said: “Situated in our home patch, Hemlock Gate is one of our most important projects. We always strive to create environments that reflect their surroundings and engage the local community, but this development is particularly close to our hearts here at Peter James Homes.
“Hemlock Gate is a rural site and yet within easy distance of local amenities, Nottingham city centre and major road networks. It also has an ancient geological feature just a stone’s throw away, and an award-winning park.
“A total of £1.05m has been allocated to the local community for investment in public transport, improvements to roads, education, and wildlife habitats.
“Located close to local landmark, the Hemlock Stone, and just four miles from our headquarters in Chilwell, the development is being designed to marry into the existing environment whilst also providing a flagship development with wide appeal.
“Our investment in Bramcote and its infrastructure has been carefully considered to deliver a broad spectrum of homes that meet the needs of the local community as well as future proofing the properties for energy cost reduction and environmental compatibility.”
