800 local jobs to be created following major land sale

Around 800 local jobs are set to be created at a new 400-home residential development in the Nottinghamshire town of Market Warsop following the completion of a multimillion pound land deal.

Barratt and David Wilson Homes secured planning permission to build on the 40-acre site off Stonebridge Lane after Fisher German sold the land on behalf of a longstanding client.

Barratt and David Wilson Homes North Midlands MD Mark Cotes said the scheme will underpin approximately 800 jobs for local people.

Harworth Group – who secured outline planning permission for the scheme in 2018 – has been appointed as promoter.

Matthew Handford, senior development surveyor at Fisher German, said: “We are pleased to have completed a deal with Barratt and David Wilson Homes which will accommodate the great need for both market and affordable housing in the Nottinghamshire area.

“It was a pleasure to work with the land department at Barratt and David Wilson North Midlands on a complex sale contract and I am excited to see the development come to fruition, with the outline planning permission granted back in September 2018.”

Barratt and David Wilson Homes are set to begin work on the site imminently.

The development will consist of a mixture of two, three, four and five bedroom properties, 20 percent of which will be affordable homes.

Cotes added: “Acquiring the land for our development in Market Warsop is fantastic news as it brings the delivery of 400 much-needed new homes ever closer for Nottinghamshire property seekers.

“The plans for the development include a mix of housing, including 80 affordable homes, and will form part of a major investment in the Warsop area.”
