Harworth Group has completed the sale of an eight-acre land parcel at Woodville, Derbyshire to Barwood Homes for the delivery of 73 houses.
The land parcel forms part of a 53-acre regeneration site which is owned by Beepart, part of Dyson Group, the Sheffield-based former manufacturer of industrial materials. The deal was closed at an undisclosed price.
In April 2022, South Derbyshire District Council granted outline consent for the creation of up to 300 homes on the site, in addition to a 30,000 sq ft local centre with retail and leisure amenities and more than 150,000 sq ft of employment space.
Gavin Rosson, managing director of Dyson Group, said: “This first sale of a residential portion of the site is an important step in unlocking the full development potential of the whole, something we have been trying to achieve for many years. Such development will help regenerate Woodville and the surrounding area, somewhere we have had a presence since 1967 and are delighted to participate in.”
Ed Catchpole, regional director for Yorkshire and Central at Harworth, added: “Our focus is now on bringing forward the rest of the development, utilising our extensive experience in the remediation of complex sites, including earthworks and infrastructure, to ready the remaining residential and employment land.”
