The housebuilder has exchanged contracts on sites in Maltby, Rotherham, and Duckmanton, near Chesterfield. In addition Honey has acquired sites in Waverley, Rotherham; Killamarsh, near Sheffield; and Edwinstowe, near Mansfield.

Since being launched in October 2022, Honey has now secured 13 sites across Yorkshire and the East Midlands that will deliver 1,650 plots and a combined gross development value of £480m.

The housebuilder’s first two developments are currently underway. These are a £14m, 50-new home scheme in South Normanton, Derbyshire, called Amber and a £23.5m, 95-new home development on Barnburgh Lane, Barnsley, called Iris. The remaining six secured sites range from Bradford to Nottingham.

Honey has purchased the three sites in Edwinstowe, Waverley and Killamarsh from Rotherham-headquartered land and property regeneration company Harworth Group.
