Housebuilder announces plans to invest £975,000 in South Yorkshire

Barratt Homes Yorkshire West division is set to contribute more than £975,000 to support projects and community improvements in Sheffield and Rotherham, ahead of the launch of two new housing developments.

The Glassworks, in Catcliffe, will comprise 85 new homes, and Elderwood, in Bannerdale, will feature 63. Both scheme are set to open early this year.

The housebuilder’s contributions will help a range of facilities close to the residential sites, including donations of more than £190,000 to improve outdoor community and sports facilities, over £170,000 towards education and £500,000 which will go towards affordable housing offsite.

David Coe, development director at Barratt Homes Yorkshire West, said: “As well as building new homes and creating jobs, we always look to invest in and enhance our local communities so they can develop and thrive.

“We hope these contributions will support the residents of Sheffield and Rotherham and the activities they have in their neighbourhood, along with those who decide to make The Glassworks or Elderwood their home.

“In addition to this initial investment, we have now appointed a dedicated land resource to identify further opportunities in and around Sheffield and Rotherham, further cementing our commitment to Sheffield City and the wider Sheffield City Region. We are excited to see the new developments taking shape over the coming months and to start welcoming residents.”
