Allocated & Rejected Housing Sites—MUA—Wheatley Hills & IntakeMap Key:Rejected Housing allocationAllocated Housing sitePermissionSite no: 391 / 432—Former Wheatley Hills Middle School, LegerWay (134 units)The site is 5.41 hectares in size and consists of a former school siteand playing fields. There are some areas of hard standing/former carparking but the majority of the site is greenfield. The site is capable ofaccommodating 134 dwellings. There are existing residential uses tothe west and industrial estate to the north. A golf course is located tothe east and south. The whole of the site is identified in the UDP as anEducation Facility. In addition, the Greenfield playing fields part to theeast of the site is also designated as Countryside Policy Area. The sitewas included as part of a comprehensive Assets Review by DMBCsummer-autumn 2017 and is being released through a managed 4year disposal program. The Sustainability Appraisal findings are thatthere are mainly significant positive/positive and neutral effects andthat this extension site is the strongest performing of all the Green Beltand Countryside extension sites at the Main Urban Area with the fewest negative effects. There are 3 potential negative effects: firstly distance to a train station; and, secondly, access to a primary school.However, the site is located within a short walk distance of a bus stopon the core network. The third negative effect is in relation to biodiversity, as the site borders a designated local wildlife site, but this couldbe mitigated through landscaping to buffer the local wildlife site(Wheatley Golf Course reference 2.62). Although around half of thesite will result in the loss of countryside, this is not considered to beopen countryside given the golf course lies immediately adjacent tothe east and south of the site. Beyond the golf course, part of ShawLane Industrial Estate is located to the east, the Main Town ofArmthorpe to the south-east, and the golf club (car park/club houseetc)/public house/school/rugby club/household waste recycling centeretc to the south. The site is not currently publically accessible land andthe site would trigger on site open space provision which would resultin a net increase in accessible open space for the new housing andexisting community compared to the current situation. The requiredbuffering to the local wildlife site adjacent to the southern/easternboundaries will create an attractive settlement edge for this part of theMain Urban Area in comparison with the current Shaw Lane IndustrialEstate which comprises of small-medium sized industrial box likeunits. At the time of drafting a planning application (19/01170/FULM)for 143 dwellings on the site is pending. Conclusion allocate site references 391/432 as the community facility is surplus to requirementand its allocation for housing will provide a significant contribution towards the settlement’s housing requirement with minimal impactthrough loss of some countryside but this is considered minimal andoutweighed by the need for the Main Urban Area to meet its housingrequirement with avoidance of flood risk and Green Belt, where possible, in line with national policy.

Allocated & Rejected Housing Sites—MUA—EdenthorpeSite no: 431—Off Thorne Road (319 units)Map Key:Rejected Housing allocationRejected Housing Site - Access problems. Site too large to serve from Cedric Road dueto capacity constraints and no direct access to any other existing public highway.Allocated Housing sitePermissionSite no: 431—Off Thorne Road (319 units)Rejected Housing Site – all of the site is within Flood RiskZone 3 so allocation of the site would lead to inappropriatedevelopment in a high flood risk area – the site fails the floodrisk sequential test therefore.Site no: 255—Hungerhill (542 units)Proposed Housing Site – The site is a very large urban greenfield site extending to 28.98 hectares in the middle ofEdenthorpe and capable of accommodating 717 dwellings.The site is currently allocated for employment uses in theUDP but there has been no real interest from the market tobring forward such uses on the site. The site is currentlyscrubland. There are existing residential uses to the north andnorth-east, as well as south-east and west. There is a schoolto the east and commercial uses to the north of the site. Thesite performs strongly through sustainability appraisal andnegative effects can be mitigated, including flood risk. Thelarger western part of the site (20.9 ha) now has planning permission (post April 2018 base date - 18/02592/3OUTM) for542 new homes and a planning application pending(19/01465/3FULM) for the remainder of the site for educational uses. In conclusion, allocate the western part of the site forhousing (542 units) in line with the extant permission and theremainder of the site is to be designated for educational uses.Site no: 241—Mere Lane (600 units)Proposed Housing Site - Land to the East of Mere Lane,Edenthorpe – Large urban extension site to the east ofEdenthorpe extending to 46.3 hectares and capable of accommodating 1,147 dwellings. The site is currently in agricultural use and is greenfield therefore. There are existing residential dwellings to the west with open countryside and furtheragricultural uses to the north, east and south. Long Plantation(woodland) is located immediately to the northern and easternsite boundaries. The majorty of the site has been subject to anOutline planning application (reference: 15/01278/OUTM) fora scheme of 650 dwellings, so much smaller than the site submitted through the call for sites and assessed via HELAA, thatwas refused by Planning Committee and has been Appealed(reference: APP/F4410/W/17/3169288) by the landowner viaa Public Inquiry that started in March 2017 with the secondHearing sessions closing in January 2018. The decision rested with the Secretary of State who allowed the Appeal in February 2019. In conclusion, allocate part of site reference 241(as per planning application boundary) as Secretary of Statehas allowed an Appeal (decision issued February 2019) following a large Public Inquiry after planning permission wasrefused by DMBC Planning Committee. Site capacity reducedto 600 dwellings which reflects the revised scheme that wasworked up during the Inquiry process and therefore now permissioned (post April 2018 base date). The remainder of site241 is to remain in the Countryside. .

There are however verylarge overhead pylons that cross the site north to south. Themasterplan avoids development beneath them with buffering/open space/landscaping. These constraints significantly reducethe potential capacity of the site from the estimated average of646 dwellings. The Council still has concerns in respect to accessibility issues with taking access from Brecks Lane. No footways presently and Brecks plantation will constrain provision inthe form of offsite highway works. Therefore does not necessarily conform with NPPF 108/110. Unable to determine whethervisibility requirements for new accesses would meet requirements in accordance with 85th percentile wet weather speeds.

There is a smallsection of hard standing in the north-west corner of the site currently used for carparking for the cemetery. The site is capable of accommodating 28 dwellings.There are existing residential uses to the south and a cemetery to the north.Dense woodland is found to the east and further grassed open space to thewest, before further residential dwellings. The site is currently designated asOpen Space Policy Area via the UDP and identified through the Green SpaceAudit as Ascot Road Amenity Housing open space (reference 1). Cantley is theonly community profile which has sufficient open space provision in all the different categories of green space based on the findings from the Green Space Audit. This Open Space is being proposed to be retained so the representationseeking housing is not supported. Policies in the Local Plan could allow for thedevelopment of open space but would be subject to conditions, including thatthere had been proper consultation with the local community on the value of thegreen space to the area.The site is 6.7 hectares and currently grassland and greenfield therefore. The site is capable of accommodating 166 dwellings. There areexisting residential uses to the east, south-east and south-west. Doncaster Racecourse is located to the north and north-west and opencountryside/woodland to the north-east. This representation is an existing greenfield UDP Housing Allocation and has been put forward byboth DMBC Assets and Local Investment Planning Teams through thecall for sites. The site was previously unavailable for development, but isnow being actively promoted and being brought forward for housing byDMBC. The site was included as part of a comprehensive Assets Review by DMBC summer-autumn 2017 and is being released through amanaged 4 year disposal program.Rejected Housing Site - The site is 1 hectare in size and currently grassed informal open space in between existing residentialareas. The site is greenfield therefore and capable of accommodating 28 dwellings. There are existing residential uses to thenorth, east and west with community facilities and open space tothe south of the site on the opposite side of Goodison Boulevard.Since this site was put forward for housing through the call forsites, a planning application has been granted in February 2017(reference: 16/02268/FULM) for a 75 bed care home on themajority of the site. Although the facility will provide and serve animportant housing offer for the borough, the bedrooms are ensuites and the rest of the accommodation is shared and ancillarysuch as communal lounges/dining rooms etc, so the dwellingsare not self-contained in line with the Planning definition of selfcontainment and the site will not therefore contribute towards theallocated supply to meet the OAN even if it was to be supportedas an allocation.Site no: 262—Plot 6 Lakeside Boulevard (87 units)Proposed Housing Site - The site is 3.12 hectares and occupies a 'peninsula' projecting into the lake on its eastern side. The site forms part of the former Doncaster Airportsite and is brownfield therefore. The site is capable of accommodating 87 dwellings.On the opposite side of Lakeside Boulevard, facing the site, are existing apartments inmainly 3 storey buildings. There are further residential uses recently built/under construction to the north-east and south-east. The site is connected to the lake islands bybridges which enable public access. As per site reference 261 above, except this sitehas previously had planning permission approved for a high density apartmentscheme which lapsed as was never implemented.Proposed Housing Site - The sites total 15.9 hectares and are located to theeast of Cantley and is currently in agricultural use and greenfield therefore.The sites are capable of accommodating 275 dwellings. There are existingresidential uses to the west as well as a school and its playing fields. The M18motorway runs adjacent to the eastern boundary and there are agriculturaluses to the north. The sites are currently designated as Countryside PolicyArea. The Sustainability Appraisal finds there are mainly positive and neutraleffects. There are significant negative effects on pollution to surface waterbodies due to the site adjoining a surface water feature along its eastern/southeastern boundary. This can be mitigated through the use of best practice construction techniques. Effects on best and most versatile agricultural land andminerals resource are uncertain given the desktop information does not identifywhether Grade 3a or 3b, and whether the sand and/or gravel underlying part ofthe site is soft sand or sharp sand/gravel? This could be clarified through an on-site survey and were this to show the site is best or most versatile agriculturalland, a soil management plan could help mitigate this negative effect. Consideration of pre-extraction of any sharp sand/gravel could also help mitigate thenegative effects were this proven to be present on site, noting that this onlyeffects part of the site, and subject to economic viability and environmentalacceptability. The sites are roughly triangular in shape. There are existing residential uses and a school to the west. The other 2 sides are bound by theB1396 to the north and M18 Motorway to the east/south-east, with a densetree buffer in-between, which provides a strong defensible boundary and thesites are not therefore considered as being open countryside. The sites are notcurrently publically accessible land and they would trigger on site open spaceprovision which would result in a net increase in accessible open space for thenew housing and existing community compared to the current situation. Theallocation for housing will provide a significant contribution towards the settlement’s housing requirement with marginal impact through loss of some countryside but this is considered minimal and outweighed by the need for the MainUrban Area to meet its housing requirement with avoidance of flood risk andGreen Belt, where possible, in line with national policy.Site no: 166—East of Warning Tongue Lane (2) (480 units)Site no: 261—Plot 5A Carolina Way (53 units(Proposed Housing Site - The site is 2 hectares in size and is part of the former Doncaster Airport site and is therefore brownfield. The site is capable ofaccommodating 53 dwellings. The Lakeside Lake is located to the north andeast of the site beyond which is an existing housing development under construction. The High Speed Rail College has recently been constructed andnow open to the west which sits alongside some existing commercial uses.There is open countryside to the south including Potteric Carr nature reserve.The site is an unused Unitary Development Plan allocation owned by DMBC.Not previously brought forward for housing due to significant activity on otherplots around the Lakeside area, although many of these are now complete/nearing completion so this site forms a logical next and final phase of theareas housing development. The site was included as part of a comprehensive Assets Review by DMBC summer-autumn 2017 and is being releasedthrough a managed 4 year disposal program.Site no: 164 / 430—East of Warning Tongue Lane (1) (275units)Site no: 380—Goodison Boulevard (1)Site no: 072—Acres Ranch (200 units)Rejected Housing Site - The site is 2.29 hectares and is currently open space grassland located off Goodison Boulevard.The site is greenfield therefore and capable of accommodating 64 dwellings. There are existing residential uses to theeast, south and west with community facilities and retail usesto the north alongside dense woodland to the north-east. Thesite is designated as Open Space Policy Area via the UnitaryDevelopment Plan and identified through the Green SpaceAudit as Calendar Court informal open space (reference 29).Cantley is the only community profile which has sufficientopen space provision in all the different categories of greenspace based on the findings from the Green Space Audit.This Open Space is being proposed to be retained so therepresentation seeking housing is not supported. Policies inthe Local Plan could allow for the development of open spacebut would be subject to conditions, including that there hadbeen proper consultation with the local community on thevalue of the green space to the area.Rejected Housing Site – part of the site is within FloodRisk Zone 2/3 so allocation of the site would lead to inappropriate development in a medium/high flood risk area –the site fails the flood risk sequential test therefore.Rejected Housing Site - The site is 21.85 hectares and located to the south-east ofCantley. The site is currently in agricultural use and is greenfield and capable ofaccommodating 480 dwellings. There are existing residential uses to the west withwoodland to the north and agricultural uses to the east and south. Access to theYorkshire Wildlife Park runs west to east through the southern part of the site. Thesite is currently designated as Countryside Policy Area. The Sustainability Appraisal finds the site has a large number of negative effects compared to all theother urban extension site options for the Main Urban Area on land designated asCountryside Policy Area (notwithstanding ref 241 which now has planning permission and the same number of negative effects). This site also straddles the entrance to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park which is a key asset for the borough due to itssuccess as a major new tourist attraction for the region and wider. Unlike sites164/430 discussed above, which have strong boundaries created by the M18/B13696, this site would extend the settlement into open countryside and significantly alter the currently rural setting and entrance to this important growing assetfor the borough.

Further to this, the site is the strongest performing, through the findings ofthe Sustainability Appraisal, of all the urban extension sites (including the Countrysidesites) at the Main Urban Area (with the exception of reference 391/432 below) with thefewest negative effects. However, this is a minerals site with extant permission for extraction until 2042 and is an important site for industrial limestone. There are concerns regarding how the site could be reclaimed for housing given the scale of extraction that has already taken place so there are significant deliverability constraints to this site and insufficient information at present as to how this could be overcome. It may be more appropriatetherefore for the site to be restored to low level agricultural useSite no: 033—Adj. 163 Sheffield Road (112 units)Proposed Housing Site - The site is 4.39 hectares and located to the southwest of Warmsworth and is currently in agricultural use (arable) and greenfieldtherefore. The site is capable of accommodating 112 dwellings. There areexisting residential uses to the east and Warmsworth Halt Industrial Estate tothe south. A quarry is located to the north of the site and open countryside/agricultural uses to the west. The existing Green Belt boundary is defined byresidential built form along the A630 and Ash Dale Road to the east, andWarmsworth Halt to the south. The existing boundary is considered to besomewhat intended by the extent of residential gardens. If the site was to beremoved from the Green Belt, the resultant boundary would be defined to thenorth by the strongly defined, recognisable and likely to be permanent A630/Sheffield Road and to the west by weakly defined field boundary, denoted onlyby the change in agricultural crop and no other recognisable or likely to bepermanent features. The resultant Green Belt boundaries would therefore bemixed in strength. Although the site and existing boundary has a strong role inpreventing ribbon development, the site is largely contiguous with the largebuilt up ar
