Contracts have been exchanged to enable the building of more than 150 new homes in Mastin Moor, near Chesterfield.
Vistry Group is expected to start development on land south of Bolsover Road in High Ridding, after exchanging contracts with The Devonshire Property Group.
The 11 acre site, which was previously agricultural land, will provide approximately 165 mixed tenure homes on the second phase of the wider Mastin Moor development, which will eventually deliver 650 homes alongside a local centre with retail and health facilities, as well as a community garden.
Vistry Group has submitted a reserved matters application for 165 homes to Chesterfield Borough Council, with a determination expected in 2025.
Devonshire Property Group has already constructed the main site infrastructure, in addition to an innovative Construction Skills Hub south of the site. The hub will offer sector specific training on the live construction sites in Mastin Moor, providing opportunities for future generations of builders to develop their skills.
Harron Homes occupies phase one of the wider development, building new homes on a 16 acre piece of land to the south west.
Rob Spittles, Managing Director of Vistry East Yorkshire, said: “We are delighted to have exchanged contracts on this parcel of land and to be contributing to the growing community in Mastin Moor.
“We know there is a need for high-quality homes in the area, as well as properties that offer a mixed-tenure for a variety of buyer needs, and look forward to adding this offering to the wider development in the future.”
Andy Byrne, Director at the Devonshire Property Group, said: “We’re delighted to have Vistry on board to deliver another phase of homes at The Riddings in Mastin Moor. What we really like about Vistry is their mixed tenure model, providing homes for sale, rent and affordable housing.
“This helps to create a truly sustainable community, something that is important to the Devonshire Group. Once complete the overall development will provide over 50 acres of new parkland, a new local centre and an extension to the existing community gardens. We wish Vistry well with their planning application and look forward to welcoming them on site in 2025.”
