Housebuilder to deliver another 800 homes as it bags five sites

Sheffield-headquartered housebuilder, Honey, has secured five sites across South Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire which will deliver 800 new homes and revenues of £240m.

The firm has exchanged contracts on sites in Maltby, Rotherham, and Duckmanton, near Chesterfield.

In addition, it has acquired sites in Waverley, Rotherham; Killamarsh, near Sheffield; and Edwinstowe, near Mansfield.

Since being launched in October 2022, Honey has secured 13 sites across Yorkshire and the East Midlands which will deliver 1,650 plots and a combined gross development value of £480m.

The first two developments are currently underway. These are a £14m, 50 home scheme in South Normanton, Derbyshire, called Amber and a £23.5m, 95 home development on Barnburgh Lane, Barnsley, called Iris. The remaining six secured sites range from Bradford to Nottingham.

Honey has purchased the three sites in Edwinstowe, Waverley and Killamarsh from Rotherham-headquartered land and property regeneration company Harworth Group.

Plans have been submitted for the proposed development at Edwinstowe, with applications expected to be submitted for the other four recently secured sites within the coming weeks.

Chief executive officer, Mark Mitchell, said: “Securing these five sites marks the latest milestone in our expansion strategy to quickly become an established housebuilding brand within the north of England and the Midlands.

“We have gained a great deal of momentum in a short space of time and we intend to continue on our growth trajectory throughout 2024.”
