Harworth has sold two land parcels at its Waverley development site in Rotherham, South Yorkshire.
A 12.6-acre plot was sold to housebuilder Avant for the delivery of 172 new homes. The land is next to a site purchased by Avant in 2020 for 144 homes. The new homes will be situated between the River Rother and Highwall Park, in an area of the development known as Waverley Riverside.
The second sale comprises a 2.7-acre plot bought by Stapleford Ventures for the development of a four-star, 150-bedroom Marriott hotel.
Andrew Blackshaw, chief operating officer at Harworth, said: “One of Harworth’s key strategic objectives is accelerating sales of its residential products. Waverley is a prime example of how we will achieve this.”
Harworth is currently awaiting the outcome of a planning application for Olive Lane, where proposals include a supermarket, restaurants and cafes, a medical centre and offices, alongside additional residential development.
