Plans for canal side residential development revealed

Plans are being drawn up for a  major canal side residential development in South Yorkshire.

Architects from Sheffield practice Coda Studios have been instructed by developers Fenwood Estates to deliver the waterside project at Leach Lane, close to Mexborough’s railway station.

The project – will include a total of 17 houses and eight apartments – was originally set to start in 2007 but was hit by the building industry recession.

“We are delighted that Fenwood Estates have turned to us to get this project moving again,” said Coda managing director David Cross.

“The site overlooks a wide stretch of canal and green belt and we aim to create a exciting community that will be entirely in keeping with what we believe will be a much sought-after location.

“The project, which we aim to deliver in 2018, highlights the increasing confidence in the town of Mexborough and we are working closely with Doncaster planners to deliver something that will enhance the area and add to its attractiveness for buyers.”
