Vistry teams up with Sage Homes as work begins on 163-home Mastin Moor development
Work has officially begun on a 163-home development at Mastin Moor, as Vistry, the UK’s leading mixed-tenure housebuilder, moves forward with plans for the area.
The scheme is being delivered in partnership with Sage Homes, England’s largest provider of newly built affordable housing, and will bring a broad mix of properties aimed at meeting local demand.
Located to the east of Bolsover Road, the project forms part of a wider 650-home masterplan being led by Devonshire Property Group. The larger development includes proposals for specialist later-living accommodation, a new local centre, significant areas of parkland and an extension to the existing community garden.
The site is also home to the Construction Skills Hub, run by Chesterfield College, further linking the development to local training and employment opportunities.
Andrew Byrne, Director of Devonshire Property Group, and Chair of Destination Chesterfield, said:
“Seeing this second phase of Mastin Moor commence is a huge step forward in the delivery of the wider masterplan. We are delighted to welcome Vistry and their partner Sage Homes to Mastin Moor and Chesterfield. Their commitment to the provision of affordable homes to rent or buy, helping create diverse and vibrant communities, is a key factor in the partnership and something that aligns with the core values of the Devonshire Group. Vistry’s use of timber frame buildings also demonstrates their commitment to creating sustainable homes for the future. We wish them well.”
Dave Bradley, Managing Director of Vistry North Midlands, said:
“We’re thrilled to be moving forward with this project, which is all about creating opportunities for local people. Our focus is on building not just 163 high-quality homes, but a thriving, inclusive community where families can grow and friendships can flourish. We’re committed to working closely with our partner Sage, local authorities, and residents to ensure this development delivers real value for Mastin Moor and the wider Chesterfield area.”
Alex Dawkins, Acquisitions Director, Sage Homes, said:
“We are pleased to extend our partnership with Vistry and, as England’s largest provider of newly built affordable homes, are proud to be providing much needed high quality, energy efficient, affordable homes for people on the local authority’s housing waiting list.”
Vistry will continue to work with local stakeholders throughout the construction process to ensure the new neighbourhood reflects community aspirations and supports long‑term growth in the region.
