More than 120 homes to be constructed on 17-acre site

Developer Miller Homes has acquired about 17 acres of land in an existing residential area in Doncaster.

Situated between Rose Hill and the city’s racecourse, the company’s planned development, named Saddlers Close, will bring 121 two, three, four and five-bedroom homes to the suburb.

Ian Thomson, land director, Miller Homes Yorkshire, said: “We are happy to be able to start work on bringing our homes to this wonderful part of Doncaster and helping local people find a brand-new home that suits their requirements perfectly.

“The design of the development has been carefully considered to create a setting of contemporary homes within landscaped greenspaces and protected woodland around the site boundaries.

“The scheme is a result of close collaboration between our designers and those at Doncaster Council, who have sought to deliver on a design brief which incorporates dwellings from two bed entry level homes to executive five bedroom detached properties.”

Included as part of the scheme will be 28 affordable homes, six of which are accessibility compliant bungalows.

Miller Homes is also contributing £17,529 to transport improvements, £10,000 towards the city’s Travel Plan and £719,000 for Biodiversity Net Gain.

Properties at Saddlers Close are due to be offered for sale early next year.
