A £2.4 million housing development has been completed in Derby.

The 24-home project was built on Milton Road in Repton by Trent & Dove Housing Association and Maplevale Developments.

The new Clayfields site contains both social rental and low-cost housing as South Derbyshire District Council revealed a lack of 'affordable' housing in Repton in its Local Department Framework.

Ian Reynolds, Director of Maplevale Developments, said: "This is the third development we have completed in conjunction with Trent & Dove over the past 12 months.

"We believe this site is the first of many rural exception developments in the area and we are currently planning schemes in nine other villages in Derbyshire and Staffordshire to build upon the success of Clayfields Repton."

In addition, Maplevale Developments has pledged to build a further 120 'affordable' homes in the East Staffordshire and South Derbyshire area as part of Trent & Dove's commitment to creating 600 affordable homes over the next five years
