Placemaking
Harworth’s role as Master Developer
As a master developer, Harworth transforms large, complex brownfield sites into sustainable developments, with a focus on placemaking. Reclamation works are undertaken across the site, of which parcels are then sold to housebuilders for them to build houses. The land outside these residential phases is controlled by Harworth and is developed either to provide roads, areas of public open space or, where permitted, other key community infrastructure. Harworth manages the overall development until completion, whilst retaining responsibility for the overall co-ordination and delivery of the masterplan to ensure the best overall outcome for the overall site is achieved.
