Lovell secures 199-home Fairham deal

A “landmark” housing development in Nottinghamshire has moved a step closer after contracts were exchanged for nearly 200 new homes within an £800 million neighbourhood scheme.

Lovell Partnerships has secured a 13-acre parcel at Fairham, where it plans to deliver 199 homes, subject to planning approval. 

The development will include 99 properties for open market sale and 100 affordable homes.

Fairham, located five miles from Nottingham city centre in Rushcliffe, is a 606-acre mixed-use neighbourhood being facilitated by Homes England and Clowes Developments. 

The wider scheme is set to deliver around 3000 homes alongside employment space, a new school and community facilities.

Planning for Lovell’s development is expected to be submitted in spring 2026, marking the next phase in the area’s long-term growth plans.

Beth Bundonis, Lovell Partnerships’ regional managing director, said: “Exchanging contracts at Fairham Phase Four is an important milestone for Lovell Partnerships and reinforces our commitment to delivering high-quality new homes as part of well-planned, sustainable communities.

“Fairham is a landmark development for Nottingham, and we look forward to submitting our plans for this next phase in partnership with Clowes, Homes England and the wider project team.”

Mark Laidow, head of disposals at Homes England, added: “The exchange of contracts with Lovell Partnerships marks another important step forward in the delivery of Fairham. 

“This latest phase will help maintain momentum across the site, bringing forward much-needed new homes alongside the infrastructure and amenities that will support our long-term vision.

“This is a prime example of how we are working collaboratively with partners like Lovell to achieve our mission to build vibrant, new communities that people can be proud of.”
