Honey to build £42million 114-house development at Thoresby Vale, Edwinstowe

A housebuilder is set to start construction 114 houses after being granted planning permission for a £42million development.

Housebuilder Honey will build the three, four, and five-bedroom homes at Thoresby Vale, off Ollerton Road in Edwinstowe, as part of the site’s wider masterplan.

Sheffield-headquartered Honey says its house types have all been designed to combine “style, substance and sustainability for the benefit of buyers”, and the development will include 12 different types of houses including semi-detached and detached properties.

The houses will also accommodate the Future Homes Standard which requires all new homes being built from 2025 onwards to produce 75 to 80% less carbon emissions, as well as having electric vehicle charging points at every property.

Work at Homes by Honey at Thoresby Vale is scheduled to start this September, with the first homes also expected to be released for sale this month.

It is anticipated that the first residents will move into their new homes in June 2025.

Honey chief executive officer, Mark Mitchell, said: “Homes by Honey at Thoresby Vale will help satisfy the demand from those living in, or wanting to move to, Edwinstowe for high quality, high specification new homes.

“We have seen significant interest from prospective buyers since announcing our plans and the development will deliver a range of new homes well suited to first-time buyers, families and downsizers.

“With planning now being granted, we look forward to starting works at the site and launching the first homes for sale which combine style, substance and sustainability for the benefit of our buyers.”

Located on the former Thoresby Colliery, Thoresby Vale is redevelopment masterplan to create a new sustainable community.

Once complete, it will comprise 800 new homes, a new primary school, a local centre and up to 250,000 square feet of commercial space.
