Homes by Honey proposes a feature green space to create a sense of arrival at the site from the east, with predominantly three-storey townhouses forming the backdrop. The primary street, which would be lined with existing trees, would extend from Upperthorpe Road and connect up with Green Lane. Detached houses are proposed along the southern edge of the site. The developer proposes predominantly two-storey contemporary homes with enlarged window openings and simple entrance canopies.

For their part in the development, Harron Homes are planning a play area as part of a green space which integrates the existing trees in the western arrival space. The two-storey homes will have a traditional appearance, similar in style to the recent developments in Killamarsh. The proposed materials indicate a mix of red brick house types with matching verge tiles and buff brick houses with grey verge tiles.

Outline planning permission for up to 397 houses on the site was granted on appeal in 2022.
