Development partner selected for 3,000-home scheme

A property and regeneration specialist has been selected as the joint venture partner for a mixed-used development of more than 3,000 homes.Durham-headquartered Hargreaves Land, the property and land division of Hargreaves Services, has entered into a joint venture partnership with construction and development specialist Waystone on the Unity development in Doncaster.The development would comprise 3,100 new homes, a new marina, school, transport hub and almost 200 acres of open spaces on a site by the M18 and M180 junction in South Yorkshire.About 150 acres would be dedicated to commercial use, with about £910m potentially injected into the region’s economy over the next 20 years and helping to create 7,000 jobs.Waystone, supported by its parent company CP Holdings Ltd, secured planning consent for Unity in 2015. In April 2019, work started work on the new DN7 Hatfield link road, for which Waystone secured planning consent in 2009. This will create a new 2.9km road between the M18 at Junction 5 to Waggons Way next to the former Hatfield Colliery.
