Site Overview

Mastin Moor Development Master plan

The site of the wider master plan is located to the south of the village of Mastin Moor. Extending to 46.2 ha (114.16 aces) of mainly agricultural land, Worksop Road (A619) follows its northern boundary and Bolsover Road (B6419) running north to south splitting the site with part of the site extending southwards to Woodthorpe Road. The overall site forms a shallow valley sloping from the ridge lines along Worksop Road and Woodthorpe Road towards a watercourse that runs in a westerly direction through the site. Mastin Moor lies adjacent to the well regarded village of Woodthorpe, and Markham Vale, one of the regions flagship regeneration schemes consisting of a 200 acres business park employing over 2,500 people

Low Ridding extends to 6.13ha (15.14 acres) and will deliver the initial phase of development of the wider Mastin Moor development master plan. Whilst situated to the south east of the village, Low Ridding will be accessed from its western boundary via Bolsover Road.

Mastin Moor is located approximately 8km east of Chesterfield and 12 km west of Worksop.
