Plan for 322 new homes on former colliery site in north Derbyshire

Harron Homes North Midlands, in collaboration with Homes by Honey, is aiming to build the properties at Killamarsh, next to Green Lane and Upperthorpe Road.

The proposal, which will go before North East Derbyshire District Council, is centred on the former Westthorpe Colliery site which is now disused land. Houses ranging from one to five bedrooms would be included in the development and a fifth of the new properties designated for affordable housing.

Financial contributions of around £750,000 would be made towards sports facilities, education and health care in the local community.

The 45-acre site has been purchased from Harworth Estates and two other private landowners who previously secured outline planning permission for 397 new homes.

John Booth, regional managing director for Harron Homes North Midlands, said: “This is a really exciting opportunity to bring a wide range of homes suitable for a range of house-hunters in the area. We’ve taken on board previous concerns related to the number of houses being constructed and have been working closely with the council to generate a proposal to benefit everyone.”

Harron developments can be found across Nottinghamshire, Sheffield and Derbyshire. For further information, visit www.harronhomes.com
