If you are searching for new builds in Derbyshire, or a development partner who can handle everything from land acquisition to a finished luxury home, this project tells you exactly what Daida Group is about.

Spotting the Opportunity

Daida Group acquired a parcel of green belt land on Ashby East Road in Bretby, Burton-upon-Trent, for £137,000, with only outline planning permission in place. For most developers, green belt land means risk and complexity. For our team, it meant opportunity.

What makes this project stand out is that every single stage was handled entirely in-house. No subcontractors, no handoffs, no compromise on quality. From the initial planning strategy right through to the final finish, the same team owned every decision.

Navigating Green Belt Planning in Derbyshire

Securing full planning permission for an executive dwelling on green belt land is no small feat. It demands a thorough understanding of local planning policy and a compelling case for design quality. Our team examined every relevant policy and criteria, building a submission that demonstrated how a high-specification, architecturally considered home could sit naturally within its hillside setting.

The elevated position of the plot on Ashby East Road brought logistical challenges throughout the build, from coordinating access to managing materials on a sloping site. These were handled entirely by our own team, all within an 18-month programme from land purchase to completed sale.

For anyone considering a house extension or new build in Derbyshire, this kind of detailed planning knowledge is what separates a smooth project from a costly one.

Building to a Premium Specification

The home was constructed as a premium new build from the ground up, built entirely to Daida Group's own specification. The timber frame structure was paired with an air source heat pump, underfloor heating throughout, and a solar panel array, delivering both exceptional comfort and long-term energy efficiency.

Inside, a dramatic gallery staircase and vaulted ceilings with full-height glazing create a sense of light and volume that has to be seen to be appreciated. The bathrooms were finished to the very highest standard, and buyers were given the opportunity to personalise their kitchen style and flooring at no additional cost, so the home felt genuinely theirs from day one. A detached garage completes the plot.

The Result: Sold in Eight Weeks

The finished home drew immediate interest. Its elevated position on the Bretby hillside offers spectacular views across the surrounding Derbyshire countryside, a natural asset that the design frames beautifully through the vaulted glazing and considered room layout.

The property sold in just eight weeks, to buyers who were delighted with the quality of finish throughout.
