Brownlow Road, Mansfield

MVMP is spearheading a £5.4 million project to regenerate Brownlow Road, once dubbed the “street of shame”.

We have been selected by Mansfield District Council to manage a scheme which will see 215 run-down and derelict homes replaced by 200 attractive new properties in Brownlow Road, Bould Street and Broomhill Lane.

It is the first scheme for which MVMP has been appointed outside our original remit.

In recent years, the area had become a major problem for the council and the emergency services too, owing to high vacancy levels, dereliction, fly tipping and arson.

However, the new homes will change the face and reputation of the area. Ranging in size from one to four bedrooms they will be offered for outright sale, rental or shared ownership through the LHA-ASRA housing group.

We are negotiating purchase of the run-down properties with their owners, and a masterplan has been agreed for the site in conjunction with local residents; our preferred developer for the site will be confirmed shortly.

Brownlow Road has suffered almost 20 years of decay and some residents had given up hope. Now they can see something tangible happening, there is a positive feeling about the future: the initiative makes a significant statement about how the district is moving forward.
