More houses added to 1,300 homes plan

Plans for 140 new homes were submitted to Bassetlaw District Council on Monday

Plans for 140 new homes in a Nottinghamshire village have been submitted.

Housing developer Bellway Homes Ltd applied to Bassetlaw District Council for the appearance, layout, scale and landscaping of the scheme, earmarked for land south of Scrooby Road in Harworth.

It's part of a wider Bassetlaw development of more than 1,300 properties, approved on the land in 2021 and called the Harworth Colliery Regeneration Scheme.

The Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) said the properties will be split into 61 three-bedroom homes and 77 four-bedroom homes.

All homes will be two storeys to be in keeping with the different phases of the wider development and have a clear, urban structure.

LDRS said residents will mainly access the site from the north but will have connecting access from the different phases.

Planning papers say: "New residents and following generations will have the opportunity to have long and successful lives in a sustainable and pleasant location."

Jones Homes and Kier Living will build 71 and 125 homes on two separate patches of land at the Scrooby Road entrance.

Miller Homes and Harron Homes are currently building on-site as part of the Phase 2 of the wider development, which started in early 2022.

Harron Homes also plans to develop a further 65 homes on the site, however LDRS said the district council will decide on this application at a later date.
