NHBC and Vistry showcase the value of partnership working

March 2025

Dracan Village is a beautiful new build development, located in Drakelow on the outskirts of Burton-on-Trent. It’s a prime example of a modern, quality house building, offering detached and semi-detached two, three and four-bedroom houses. 

NHBC and Vistry partnered on the scheme, with all homes benefiting from NHBC’s warranty cover. 

From the start of the project, Vistry was committed to making Dracan Village a sustainable development with biodiversity in mind. Built in the heart of a regeneration area, it’s on the site of the former Drakelow Power Station which meant careful consideration had to be taken during planning. There was a requirement for remediation of the land so the ground and environment were suitable for new homes.  

NHBC has an impressive track record in supporting the home-building industry on sustainability and environmental matters. With the Future Homes Standard in mind and net zero on the horizon, we’re actively working with house builders like Vistry, Government and other industry stakeholders to help make the requirements to develop low-energy homes technically and commercially viable. 

 

NHBC is proud to work in partnership with Vistry as it shares our unwavering commitment to quality. Dracan Village is an excellent example of a development that puts residents at its heart, with a community focus. Vistry fosters a forward-thinking approach when it comes to placemaking, which chimes with NHBC’s values. NHBC and Vistry share fundamental goals – our relationship is built upon a shared belief in quality, community and innovation.
