Hide AdTim Love, development director of Harworth Estates, said: "The council's approval of our proposals follows positive discussions with a significant number of organisations and the existing local community to establish their needs and aspirations.
"We are very encouraged by the support we have received.
"The dialogue we have had over the past year or so as the project has developed will continue as we begin to deliver sustainable developments from a project that will be a major boost for the Harworth community and surrounding areas during the construction phase and beyond."
