Bassetlaw's adopted Local Plan allocates around 10,476 new homes across the district, with the largest share of growth focused on Worksop, Retford, and Harworth and Bircotes. In Worksop, the Priory Centre is being redeveloped into a modern family leisure destination backed by 17.9 million pounds of Levelling Up funding, with demolition planned for early 2026, while a second phase of the Creative Village on Canal Road is adding further educational workshop space. In Harworth, the long-running Harworth Colliery Regeneration Scheme continues to deliver new homes, with a further 138 properties proposed on land south of Scrooby Road. Away from these larger schemes, Retford keeps a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions on its established Georgian and Victorian housing.
