Plans lodged for £23.5m housing project

Avant Homes has submitted plans and exchanged contracts on a 7.6-acre site in the village of Great Houghton, Barnsley, to deliver a £23.5m, 108 new home multi-tenure development.
Called Houghton Place and located on High Street, the proposed development will comprise a mix of one, two, three, and four-bedroom homes.
Of the 108 homes, 10 have been designated as affordable housing.
If given the go ahead by Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, work on the development is set to begin this spring, with the first residents expected to move into their new homes by the end of the year.
Subject to planning being granted, the development will be delivered by Avant Homes West Yorkshire.
The operating company’s managing director, Richard Hosie, said: “We are pleased to have submitted our plans to deliver a multi-tenure residential development in Great Houghton.
“As a housebuilder, we’re committed to providing quality new homes for everyone in places where people want to live.
“That is why we are proposing a mix of properties at various price points to ensure as many people as possible have access to practically designed, energy efficient homes.
“We now look forward to Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council considering our plans for the development.”
