Keepmoat Homes intends to build an estate of 125 detached and semi-detached houses on the former Imex Business Centre site off Shobnall Road in the town.
Keepmoat said that it was targeting first-time buyers and planned to use 鈥榤odern construction methods鈥�, which suggests some form of prefabrication, but did not give details.
The 8.6-acre piece of land, vacant for several years, was purchased from Homes England.
Charlotte Goode, regional managing director at Keepmoat Homes, said: 鈥淭he development, which will be known as Malthouse Place, represents a 拢24m investment into the area and our aim is to transform the disused site into a new and sustainable community, bringing much-needed new homes to Burton.聽
鈥淯sing modern construction methods, the new homes will support first-time buyers with their first steps onto the property ladder, and with assistance from the government鈥檚 Help to Buy Scheme they will be able to achieve their dream of owning a new home which is within close proximity to the town centre and with great public transport connections.鈥�
Work is expected to start on site in spring 2021 and the development will take around two years to complete.聽
