Housebuilder secures planning permission for £42m housing development

Housebuilder Honey is set to construct 114 homes in Edwinstowe after receiving planning approval for the £42m development.

Named Homes by Honey at Thoresby Vale, the project, located off Ollerton Road, is part of the larger Thoresby Vale masterplan.

It will feature 12 house types, including semi-detached and detached homes, with prices starting at £247,995 for a two-bedroom semi-detached property.

Thoresby Vale, on the former Thoresby Colliery site, aims to create a sustainable community with 800 homes, a primary school, a local centre and 250,000 sq ft of commercial space upon completion.

Construction at Homes by Honey at Thoresby Vale is set to begin in September, with the first homes available for sale this month and the first residents expected by 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.”
