A new community in the heart of Sherwood Forest

Thoresby Vale

Overview & Vision

Located within walking distance of Edwinstowe and within easy commuting distance of Sheffield, Nottingham and mainline stations at Doncaster, Newark and Retford, Thoresby Vale is a residential-led scheme situated amongst some of the region’s most popular woodlands, forests and leisure attractions.

Following the closure of Thoresby Colliery in July 2015, the site was subsequently purchased by Harworth Group for restoration and development before being renamed to ‘Thoresby Vale, Edwinstowe’ to maintain the link with its heritage and the neighbouring village.

After receiving outline planning consent in October 2017, in early 2019, the scheme received full planning permission to deliver its vision of 800 new homes ranging from apartments and starter homes, through to five-bedroom houses and a retirement village over a 10-year period. Land will also be engineered to build a new primary school on site. Up to 250,000 sq ft of new commercial space – expected to create around 1,000 jobs – and 20,000 sq ft of leisure employment space has also been given consent.

Thoresby Vale – September 2020

Development Progress

Demolition and clearance operations of the pit heads and infrastructure completed in Q2 2018, which included permanently filling and capping the two mine shafts. The restoration of the spoil heap, which commenced in 2016, is nearing completion with over half of this land now transformed to heathland that is consistent with the local landscape.

The former spoil heap – the highest vantage point for miles around and offering unrivalled panoramic views of Sherwood Forest – will be fully restored to create a 350-acre Country park, with multiple ecological habitats and significant areas of green infrastructure. It is expected that some areas of the Country Park will be open to the public by the end of 2021.

The original workshop buildings have been retained and will be restored in due course to maintain the heritage of the site and accommodate a range of community and leisure uses as part of the new local centre.

In 2019, Phase 1 was sold to Harron Homes to build the first 143 homes with construction works currently in progress and the first homes now in occupation. Towards the end of 2020, the next phase of land was sold to David Wilson Homes to build out 219 new homes with works set to start on site in 2021.

Harworth has also recently partnered with Nottinghamshire County Council and two local universities to trial a 5G Innovation hub on-site as part of a wider initiative for the neighbouring Sherwood Forest to become the World’s first 5G ‘Connected Forest’.
