Land sold to Avant Homes for 118 homes at Birdwell

On behalf of Harworth, Carter Jonas’s Planning Team secured outline planning consent for 118 homes at the site off Hay Green Lane last year.

Ten per cent – or 12 homes – are expected to be offered as ‘affordable’ housing, as per national planning requirements.

Fifteen per cent of the site will also be allocated as public open space, with a residential site area of 2.77 hectares.

The reserved matters application is still under consideration by Barnsley Council’s planning department.

Carter Jones say that following a competitive tender process, Avant Homes was selected as the preferred bidder.

Alastair Hart, managing director if Avant Homes Yorkshire said: “We have a long and successful track record of working in partnership with Harworth Group to acquire land in South Yorkshire. Subject to planning, our Birdwell development will allow us to deliver much needed high quality family homes for the locality whilst fulfilling our strategic growth plan of expanding our operations throughout the county.”

Steven Soper, associate in Carter Jonas’ Leeds office, added “Carter Jonas is very pleased to have achieved this sale, having provided planning services to Harworth then running a very competitive tender process. This is an ideal location for new homes, which will undoubtedly be very popular.”
