About Harworth
Our role
Harworth transforms former industrial sites and urban edge extensions into new homes and employment areas; creating great places where people want to live and work.
Our flagship sites such as South East Coalville in Leicestershire, Waverley in Rotherham and Logistics North in Bolton, are of national economic significance and are at the forefront of regeneration in the UK.
Harworth operate a regional model with a dedicated regional team responsible for delivering value from the existing site portfolio and purchasing new sites for development and investment in our three core regions – the North West, Midlands and Yorkshire & Central. To support this model, we have regional offices in Manchester (North West), Birmingham (Midlands) and Leeds (Yorkshire & Central) alongside our company headquarters in Rotherham
Our track record – Waverley
Harworth’s flagship development in Rotherham – Waverley – is a transformation of the former Orgreave coal mining site into Yorkshire’s largest ever mixed-use development that will contribute £1 billion to the local economy as it continues to build out over the next 10 years.
Waverley is to provide a sustainable, mixed-use development of 3,890 new homes in addition to 2.1m sq ft of employment space at the iconic Advanced Manufacturing Park on the same site, which is currently home to World class employers including McLaren Automotive, Boeing, Rolls Royce and The University of Sheffield.
Since receiving outline planning consent in 2011, over 1,250 quality homes have been built and occupied at Waverley. This has created the birth of a new community and once fully built out, will see a bustling population of around 9,000 people living in a green and attractive lakeside development.
As part of the wider masterplan, Harworth also recently delivered a new primary school in partnership with Rotherham Borough Council. A new local centre, Olive Lane, has also now opened to provide community amenities.
