Vistry, the UK’s leading providers of mixed-tenure homes, has signed a significant contract with Platform, one of the largest housing associations in the Midlands, to deliver 213 affordable homes as part of its major new development at Boulton Moor, Derby. These affordable homes form a core part of the 526 new properties being built on the 47-acre site, supporting the delivery of much-needed housing for local people.

The partnership with Platform ensures that a substantial proportion of the new homes will be accessible to those in need of affordable housing, alongside homes for the private rental sector and properties for sale on the open market. The development will also include a playground for younger residents, helping to create a vibrant and inclusive community.

Dave Bradley, Managing Director of Vistry North Midlands, said: “This contract with Platform marks a major milestone in our commitment to delivering high-quality, affordable homes in Derby. We are proud to be working with Platform Homes to bring forward a blend of affordable, PRS, and private homes, designed to meet the needs of the local community and support the city’s growth.”

Kate Ellison, Director of Growth and Innovation at Platform said: “Platform is committed to being a leading delivery partner across the Midlands, and schemes like Boulton Moor show the scale at which we can help bring forward high‑quality affordable places for people to call home. Working with Vistry on this important development allows us to accelerate much‑needed housing in the area and contribute to a well‑designed place that will serve the community for generations.”

This project represents the third phase of Derby’s Strategic Urban Extension, which will ultimately create a 2,600-home village with facilities including schools, shops, a care home, businesses, a transport hub, and electric vehicle charging stations. Planning permission was granted in May 2025, with construction expected to begin in 2026.
