Housebuilder Honey has been granted planning permission for a £14million development that will see it deliver 50 new two-, three- and four-bedroom homes in the village of South Normanton, Derbyshire.
The 4.5-acre development named Amber is the first by the Sheffield-based housebuilder since it was founded in October 2022 by former Avant Homes chief executive officer, Mark Mitchell.
Amber will feature 14 house types which Honey says have all been specifically designed to combine “style, substance and sustainability” for the benefit of buyers. Prices will start from £184,950 for a two-bedroom mid-terrace home.
Honey chief executive, Mark Mitchell, commented: “We are hugely excited to now be able to start building and make our homes available to buyers for the very first time.”
“Our focus at Honey is to ensure all our homes provide buyers with an ideal combination of style, substance and sustainability which is unmatched at its price point.”
“South Normanton is an excellent location for us to launch our high build quality, high specification new homes.”
Work at Amber has already commenced with the first residents expected to move into their new homes next March.
As well as providing new homes for the area, Honey is also making a £160,000 contribution to initiatives that will benefit the local community.
Honey has analysed consumer insights and trends to inform its house designs to ensure they meet the needs and wants of today’s new home buyers, including the flexible use of all living spaces.
Standard features in every Honey home include bi-fold doors, individually designed and fully-integrated kitchens, and boutique-style bathrooms with a signature freestanding bath and full-height tiling. All properties will also have an electric vehicle charging point installed.
In addition, the house types will accommodate the Future Homes Standard, which requires all new homes being built from 2025 onwards to produce 75-80% less carbon emissions.
