Construction News Image
Work has started on a new £45 million housing development in South Yorkshire.

Keepmoat Homes is delivering the 342-home Skylark's Grance scheme at the former Brodsworth Colliery site in Doncaster.

Initial preparatory works are now underway at the site in partnership with the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) and the project will be delivered over the next eight years.

Chris Penn, Operation Director at Keepmoat Homes, said: "Brodsworth colliery is such an important part of Doncaster's history that we're delighted to be involved in its transformation. Local people have been hearing about the fantastic regeneration plans for the former colliery for some time, so it's great to finally be starting on site and getting the wheels in motion for them to deliver a great new community for existing and new residents."

By providing a mix of house sizes and types as well as offering Hep to Buy, the development will offer the greatest possible choice to local people."
