Vision
By 2040, the Sandhill Quarter will be known as a quality, welcoming living environment, with a range of homes available to meet local residents needs and aspirations, close to the town centre. Its housing offer will be affordable, fit for purpose, energy efficient and better able to meet the community’s needs as they age. Set within family friendly public realm, multifunctional neighbourhood green spaces and the Chesterfield Canal, the neighbourhood will be a place where residents choose to live, with a range of local services and the town centre close to hand.

Site allocations
Land South of Sandy Lane (W33)
A significant opportunity exists to positively regenerate: The aspiration is to create a quality, sustainable housing area, of genuinely affordable housing and safe green spaces that better meet local residents’ needs and aspirations. This residential development will deliver 300 dwellings (a net gain of at least 52 dwellings).
Sandhill Lake (W34)
The Local Wildlife Site will receive enhancements that will benefit Worksop’s community, visitors and the environment.
