Mastin Moor Development Master plan
The site of the wider master plan is located to the south of the village of Mastin Moor. Extending to 46.2 ha (114.16 aces) of mainly agricultural land, Worksop Road (A619) follows its northern boundary and Bolsover Road (B6419) running north to south splitting the site with part of the site extending southwards to Woodthorpe Road. The overall site forms a shallow valley sloping from the ridge lines along Worksop Road and Woodthorpe Road towards a watercourse that runs in a westerly direction through the site. Mastin Moor lies adjacent to the well regarded village of Woodthorpe, and Markham Vale, one of the regions flagship regeneration schemes consisting of a 200 acres business park employing over 2,500 people.
High Ridding
High Ridding extends to 4.55 ha (11.24acres). Whilst situated to the east of the village, High Ridding will be accessed from a newly constructed Spine Road leading from Bolsover Road serving both this phase and the initial phase of development at Low Ridding. A planning application for an initial phase of 143 units is currently under consideration by Chesterfield Borough Council (TP ref: CHE/23/00370/REM).
Mastin Moor is located approximately 8km east of Chesterfield and 12 km west of Worksop. Extensive services and facilities can be found in neighbouring Staveley and the village is well linked to Chesterfield and beyond by a regular bus service. Junction 30 of the M1 is 2km north east of the subject site at Barlborough.
The land is Allocated as a Housing Site in the adopted Chesterfield Borough Council Local Plan (Housing Site ref H35) – adopted July 2020.
Outline Planning Consent for residential development of up to 650 dwellings (TP Ref: CHE/ 17/00469/OUT), including elderly care and specialist accommodation, a local centre (including local retail, health facilities, other local facilities and services), open space, community garden extension (including community building and parking) and associated infrastructure was originally granted on Appeal on 13th October 2020.
An amended Outline Planning Permission (TP Ref: CHE/20/00700/OUT) incorporating an amended master plan was granted February 2023, delivering a consent for up to 650 dwellings, a residential care facility with extra care, a Local Centre (including local retail, health facilities, leisure facilities, other local facilities and services, offices), open space, community garden extension, community building, parking and associated infrastructure and earthworks. The Sec. 106 Agreement accompanying this planning permission requires 5% of all dwellings as affordable. The Sec. 106 Agreement requires other financial contributions, but these will be the responsibility of our clients, Devonshire Property (MM) Limited. The site falls within the lower charging rate for CIL, meaning new residential development will attract CIL of £20/ sq. m, and this will be the responsibility of the purchasers.
