Transforming Regenerating Revitalising
www.harworthestates.co.uk
Harworth Estates is one of the largest
property and regeneration companies
across the North of England and the
Midlands, owning and managing
27,000 acres across 200 sites and is
wholly owned by Harworth Group plc.
Our flagship sites, such as Waverley
in Rotherham and Logistics North
in Bolton, are of national economic
significance and are at the forefront
of regeneration in the UK.
A guide to Harworth Estates
The power of regeneration
Our mission is simple: we work closely with
local communities, public bodies, developers
and other professionals to bring life to old
brownfield sites and turn derelict land into
employment areas, new homes and low
carbon energy and environmental projects.
We create places where people want to be.
The effect of these developments is profound
and long term. They support the sustainable
growth that is needed to transform local
economies, while delivering significant returns
to partners and investors.
This guide tells you more about who we are,
our approach to development and the
difference that our developments make in
local communities across the UK.

Our approach
Transforming Regenerating Revitalising
We are extremely passionate as a company about what
we achieve in regenerating the areas and local communities
we work in.
The basis of our approach is to work with partners on
sustainable projects which will strengthen local economies
and improve the lives of local people. We involve local people
in our schemes so they have a genuine voice, we pick
business partners who share our values and we insist our
suppliers meet the same high standards we hold ourselves to.
Whilst our sites offer real potential to generate new investment
and bring about change that will provide significant benefits to
local communities, we are aware that the process takes time.
We aim to sustainably transform our land holdings to create
new environments that improve local areas in the long-term.
Our specialism is remediating and restoring brownfield sites.
Our technical expertise means that we understand the land
that we work with – we recognise the risks involved and can
make a realistic assessment of what it could be used for. We
also have the in-house capability to project manage our
schemes from feasibility/planning all the way through to
finalising the construction of new buildings.

Portfolio by area
Masterplanning and delivering major
brownfield schemes
We deliver large scale, high quality
development on eight consented mixed-use
development sites in the North of England and
the Midlands, including nationally recognised
schemes in Rotherham (Waverley) and Bolton
(Logistics North). These schemes are
delivering thousands of much-needed
new homes and jobs.
Bringing engineered and consented land
to the market for development
We have been able to secure planning
consent for over 10,000 homes and 8m sq.ft
of employment space over the past seven
years. This land is then either directly
developed by ourselves or sold as part of
an engineered land sale to housebuilders
or commercial occupiers.

Building new space for commercial occupiers
We have become increasingly involved in
building new units on our schemes to suit the
commercial property market. In 2014, this
included R-evolution at Waverley - the practical
completion of three new units for advanced
manufacturers that signified the first
speculative development in Yorkshire
since 2008.
Letting industrial space across the UK
We actively manage a range of commercial,
industrial and office property across six sites in
the North of England and the Midlands. Our
tenants range from microbusinesses to leading
national and international businesses, including
Network Rail. DB Schenker and Siniat.
Generating low-carbon energy on our land
We also manage an extensive portfolio of
low carbon energy projects, environmental
technologies and mineral operations. Our Joint
Ventures with businesses on solar, wind and
Coal Mine Methane extraction operations have
the potential to power up to 50,000 family
homes every year.

Waverley
Rotherham
The site at Waverley in 1990, before its transformation
We have transformed the former Orgreave coking
works in Rotherham into WAVERLEY – a 740 acre
mixed-use development with an internationally
recognised Advanced Manufacturing Park, consent
for nearly 4,000 homes and 300 acres of high
quality public open space.
Leading employers already on site including
Rolls-Royce, Boeing and the University of Sheffield,
whilst Harron, Taylor Wimpey and Barratts have
built 300 homes since 2012 that are now occupied.
Waverley is therefore one the UK’s leading
examples of effective brownfield regeneration.
