Housebuilder Honey will build 275 new homes in Duckmanton after being granted planning permission for a £78m development.

Called Pearl and located on Tom Lane, the development will comprise a mix of two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom homes including terraces, semi-detached and detached properties. Pearl will feature 18 of Honey’s different house types, including terrace, semi-detached and detached properties. Prices at the development will start from £229,995 for a two-bedroom semi-detached Avocado house type.

Sheffield-headquartered Honey says its house types have all been specifically designed to combine “style, substance and sustainability” for the benefit of buyers. The 41-acre site has been allocated for development by Chesterfield Borough Council as part of the Chesterfield local plan to deliver 4080 homes by 2035.

Work at Pearl is anticipated to start this summer with the first homes expected to be released for sale in autumn this year. Honey anticipates that the first residents will move into their new homes in summer 2026.

Since being launched in October 2022, Honey has secured 21 sites across Yorkshire and the East Midlands that will deliver 2,850 homes and a combined gross development value of £795m. The company is backed by private equity firm Alchemy Partners and its Alchemy Special Opportunities Fund IV which has £937m of fully committed capital.

Honey chief executive officer, Mark Mitchell, commented:

“Our Pearl development will deliver design-led homes that are perfect for modern-day living for buyers looking to move in or to Duckmanton. We believe our new homes offer more style, substance and sustainability for their price, and the range of properties at the development makes it suitable for first time buyers, growing families and downsizers. There has already been huge interest in Pearl since we announced our plans, so we now look forward to releasing the first homes for sale later this year at this thriving new community we are creating.”

Honey has analysed consumer insights and trends to inform its house type 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 fully integrated kitchens; and boutique style bathrooms with a signature free standing bath and full height tiling. All properties have an electric vehicle charging point.
