Housebuilder Honey has submitted plans and exchanged contracts on a 12.4-acre site to deliver a £40m, 133 new-home development in Rainworth, near Mansfeld.
Called Melisse and located on off Nightjar Way, the proposed development will comprise a mix of two-, three-, four- and five-bed homes and feature 17 of Honey’s different house types.
Sheffield-headquartered Honey says its house types have all been specifically designed to combine “style, substance and sustainability” for the benefit of buyers.
The proposed development has been allocated within the Newark & Sherwood District Council’s existing local plan to deliver news homes across the region.
If approved by Newark & Sherwood District Council, work at Melisse is expected to start in spring 2026 and the first residents are anticipated to move into their new homes in late 2026.
Honey chief executive officer, Mark Mitchell, commented:
“We are very pleased to have submitted plans for our Rainworth site, which will further expand our development footprint across the Mansfield and Nottinghamshire region.
“Our Melisse development will provide prospective buyers in the local area with high specification, thoughtfully designed homes that are unmatched at their price point.
“We now look forward to Newark & Sherwood District Council considering our proposed plans to deliver homes which combined style, substance and sustainability in Rainworth.”
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 will have an electric vehicle charging point.
Since being launched in October 2022, Honey has secured 24 sites that will deliver 3,163 homes with a combined gross development value of £917m.
The housebuilder is backed by private equity firm Alchemy Partners and its Alchemy Special Opportunities Fund IV which has £937m of fully committed capital.
