Fairham is an under construction suburb in the borough of Rushcliffe in Nottinghamshire. It is located directly to the south of Clifton and roughly 4.5 miles (7.2 km) south-west of Nottingham's city centre and is set to be approximately 245.2 hectares (606 acres) in area.
History
[edit]The outline planning permission for Fairham was granted by Rushcliffe Borough Council on 25 January 2018 as part of a scheme to create up to 13,500 new homes by 2028, with the suburb providing 3,000.[1] Plans for a nearby business park were also approved in addition.[2] Development would begin in 2020, led by Homes England and Clowes Developments, with the first houses built in early 2024.[3][4] ADAM Architecture would serve as the site's urban designer.[5]
A short extension of the Nottingham Express Transit beyond Clifton South into Fairham was being investigated by mid-2018.[6] In March 2025, the East Midlands Combined County Authority approved £300,000 for a feasibility study into potential expansions for the transit, with the suburb being one of the possible candidates.[7]
On 7 June 2025, Rushcliffe Borough Council consulted residents within the Barton in Fabis civil parish on whether Fairham should become its own civil parish, with 97% of respondents agreeing. The new council for Fairham is planned to be formed after the 2027 United Kingdom local elections.[8][9]
