Keepmoat to build 310 homes in £40m investment in Doncaster

Housebuilder Keepmoat has revealed its plans to create 310 homes in Doncaster in a £40m investment in the city.

Keepmoat purchased a dual parcel of land on Herald Road from Doncaster Council as part of its wider aim to create more homes for the area and will work in partnership with other developers to deliver a range of high-quality, multi-tenure houses.

The Edenhill Gardens development is four miles north east of Doncaster town centre.

Daniel Crew, managing director at Keepmoat Yorkshire East, said: “We’re looking forward to working alongside our partners to deliver new homes in Doncaster, as we continue to build on our successful partnerships in the region to provide new homes for local people while transforming disused land into a desirable, thriving community to enjoy in years to come.”

132 houses will be delivered on the acquired southern parcel of land on the development, with 30 being sold as affordable housing for delivery by Yorkshire Housing, Doncaster Council and Highstone Homes.

178 homes are planned to be delivered on the northern parcel of land on the same site, which is currently subject to planning via the council.

Deputy mayor Glyn Jones added: “A lot of hard work has gone into increasing the open space and habitat provision for this housing development, above and beyond the normal standards. This will make it a great place to live and I’m very pleased to see this housing development commence on site.”
