More than 200 homes approved on appeal

Following a successful appeal decision, Network Space Developments (NSD) has secured planning consent for up to 215 homes in Carlton, Barnsley.

Of the 215 homes approved, 10% will be designated as affordable housing with an agreed contribution of over £1m to improve local education provision.

The proposals also include highways improvements and enhanced protection for local wildlife sites.

Simon Eaton, senior development manager for NSD, said: “We are happy to have secured outline planning permission for the Shaw Lane site which will bring much-needed housing for Barnsley residents.

“Its location is ideal for commuting to Sheffield, Wakefield and Leeds and enjoys easy access to the rail network via nearby Carlton and Barnsley stations.

“The successful appeal comes as a result of great efforts from our whole professional team.

“The development will ultimately deliver quality homes for the newest Carlton residents who want to live in this thriving village, but also improve local amenities for the wider community to enjoy and benefit from.”

NSD adds that it intends to begin marketing the site in early 2025.
