Keepmoat has acquired a dual parcel of land on Herald Road in Doncaster on which it intends to build 310 new homes.
Keepmoat purchased the land from Doncaster Council and will work in partnership with other developers to deliver a range of high-quality, multi-tenure houses on the site.
Of the 310 new homes to be built, 132 houses will be delivered on the southern parcel of land, with 30 being sold as affordable housing for delivery by Yorkshire Housing, Doncaster Council and Highstone Homes.
The remaining homes will be delivered on the northern parcel of land on the same site, which is currently subject to planning.
Daniel Crew, managing director at Keepmoat Yorkshire East, said: “It has been brilliant to complete the deal with the council and acquire the new land within the Yorkshire East region. The development is located just four miles from Doncaster town centre and is in easy reach of Thorne, Scunthorpe and Sheffield, which is an ideal location for those commuting to work.
“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.”
Glyn Jones, deputy mayor and portfolio holder for housing and business at Doncaster Council, 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”
