A housing developer in Brinsley has pledged to support the surrounding environment and leave a lasting community for wildlife as well as new homebuyers.

Located in the village on Cordy Lane, one of homebuilder David Wilson Homes’ latest developments, Old Mill Farm, is set to include a variety of wildlife-friendly features for nature to benefit from.

David Wilson Homes is installing a range of bird boxes, bat boxes and invertebrate boxes across the development, as well as implementing swift bricks and hedgehog highways to provide safe spaces and pathways for nature.

Martyn Parker, sales director at David Wilson Homes North Midlands, said: “As a leading developer, it is necessary we do all we can to help welcome neighbouring nature into our new communities.

While incorporating wildlife-friendly planting in its show home gardens, the development is also near to green open space, creating a peaceful setting.

Old Mill Farm is a newly launched development of three and four bedroom properties.

Residents living in the new community will benefit from being close to rural countryside, while still being just a stones’ throw away from Giltbrook Retail Park and transport links to both Nottingham and Derby.
