We completed 216 new affordable homes across Nottinghamshire during 2025/26 as part of our strongest delivery performance in more than five years.  

The homes formed part of a record year which saw us complete 1380 homes across England, helping us climb from 10th to eighth place nationally in Inside Housing’s annual Biggest Builders Survey.  

Across Nottinghamshire, we:  

  • Started work on 126 homes in total; 
  • Completed 216 new homes.  

Gerraint Oakley, our Chief Growth and Development Officer said: “Nottinghamshire remains an important area for Platform and we’re proud to be delivering homes that meet a wide range of local housing needs, from affordable rent through to social rent.  

“The strong pipeline of homes under construction demonstrates our long term commitment to investing in communities across the county.”  

Homes have been delivered across a range of tenures, helping first time buyers onto the housing ladder while also increasing the supply of affordable rented homes for local families.  

One such development is on the former Boots site in Nottingham; with an anticipated completion date of 2029 it is our largest ever development, set to provide 319 much needed affordable homes.  

Once completed, the homes at Trentside will be all electric, with air source heat pumps and innovative solar electricity tech panels to generate energy, saving residents substantial monthly costs on running their homes.  

We currently own and manage more than 51,000 homes across the Midlands and expect to complete approximately 1600 further homes during 2026/27.  

The Inside Housing Biggest Builders Survey is an annual ranking of housing associations based on the number of homes completed during the previous financial year.
