Hearthstone Investments is supporting the transformation of a former coal mining site in South Yorkshire into a thriving, sustainable community. Using proprietary screening tools, the firm identified Waverley as a high-impact opportunity, acquiring energy-efficient homes that combine affordability with environmental performance. With strong local partnerships and a focus on place-making, the project delivers core returns while contributing to social value and long-term regeneration.

INREV responded to the consultation supporting the initiative, emphasising the importance of ensuring that support measures do not distort competition with private sector finance and that any benefits are equally accessible to all market participants.
