Summary

Outline planning permission is currently being sought for up to 300 dwellings and 3,716 sqm of employment space on the former Firbeck Colliery site in Costhorpe, near Worksop.  

Spawforths are working as town planners and project manager to secure planning permission from Bassetlaw District Council and deliver a major regeneration project for the area.

The scheme required financial viability appraisals and positive measures to address contamination, ecological and highway matters to confirm the scheme potential to contribute to the redevelopment of the adjacent country park.
