Proposed Residential Development on land to the East of the High Street (B6273), Great Houghton, Barnsley.
THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Avant Homes are in the process of preparing a full planning application for the construction of 108 new homes on land to the East of the High Street (B6273), Great Houghton. The site has been confirmed by Barnsley Council as being suitable for housing and is allocated for residential development identified for housing within Barnsley Council’s adopted Local Plan (date) under allocation reference HS90.
Key features of our proposed development include:
Deliver up to 108 high quality new and energy efficient new homes, 10% of which will be affordable homes to buy and to rent which will meet identified local housing needs. An inclusive and accessible development offering a wide range of 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom terraced, semi-detached and detached types suitable for young and growing families, first time buyers and downsizers. A development designed to be sympathetic whilst enhancing the existing character of the surroundings through creating contextual design features and using high quality materials. The provision of public green spaces and considered structural landscaping, including the retention of existing trees and habitats where possible, along with compensatory native hedgerows and trees which will deliver ecological enhancements and biodiversity net gain. Safe and segregated routes for existing and new residents to access and egress the site with direct links onto High Street and the existing Public Right of Way (4).
TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Our professional team are in the process of undertaking assessments into the current site conditions and infrastructure covering several technical areas such as flooding, ecology, contamination, access, and highways. The conclusions of these assessments and any mitigation required will be set out within the full planning application.
