News: Up to 800 houses planned for Rotherham greenbelt site
Another planning application is being prepared for new housing on greenbelt land in Rotherham - this time in Dinnington and the largest single development yet for so-called "safeguarded land."
Rothbiz has reported on a number of proposed developments in Rotherham this year that are for sites in the local plan that were designated as "safeguarded land" rather than sites designated for housing. The 2018 plan set out that they may be needed in the future and taken out of the greenbelt after the end of the plan period in 2028.
Planning consultants are hoping to convince the local planning authority that the land should be used now to address the borough's housing needs.
Now Vistry Group, the company that builds more UK homes than anyone else, has engaged with agents to begin planning enquiries with Rotherham Council on a large parcel of farm land near Dinnington.
Savills listed a 26.71 hectare site at Oldcotes Road, Throapham for sale as development land. Historically in arable use, it is next to a smaller residential development site to the west which is owned by Harron Homes and is under development.
Early stage plans from Vistry East Yorkshire have been drafted to explore the prospects of residential development at the site for up to 800 dwellings.

Plans, drawn up by agents, Savills, state: "The proposed development is for up to 800 dwellings across a mix of sizes and tenures in accordance with affordable housing and the most up-to-date housing mix information.
"The Site can be accessed via Oldcotes Road and Leys Lane, with the indicative proposals having a access from both roads.
"The Site is wholly in Flood Zone 1. There is an area in the centre of the Site which is at high risk of surface water flooding, albeit no development is proposed within this area."
Plans add that detailed drainage designs are being prepared, with indicative proposals showing an attenuation basin on the eastern side of the centre of the site.
Funding could also be provided to improve Lodge Lane and Leys Lane crossroads.
The local plan designated Dinnington East as a Broad Location of Growth and agents argue that the housing requirement for the borough has not been met. This site, SLS13 in the local plan, was identified for 759 dwellings in the longer term.
A public consultation and an outline planning application are expected.

For who ?🛶🛶
Just the moronic sort of response you could have predicted
A bit like yours.
Are you a schoolboy?
I imagine the 'Just the moronic sort of response you could have predicted' person is probably a student, no longer at school but still yet to enter the real world. Bless them, they'll learn.
It's hard to believe that you actually have any imagination.
I imagine the "Bless them, they'll learn" poster is a patronising, smug, lower middle class person who adds little boats to his little Englander comments in the mistaken belief that they are interesting and amusing.
No just making the point ,of the realities of our country now....here it is again...🛶🛶🛶🇬🇧
Wrong on all your assumptions.
🥱anti🕌🐖
Sorry, missed out "and in denial".
Dont know about his other assumptions, but you're certain ly boring
I'm not middle class, I've never added little boats to my comments, I've never claimed to be interesting or amusing and believe me, I've got nothing to be smug about, your fantasy world is a lot less scary than our real one.
As for patronising, pot and kettle comes to mind.
One of the problems with this blog is that,like me, most posters prefer to remain anonymous. So replies meant for one poster appear to be for another.
I would support a requirement that we should post under usernames to avoid confusion.
Worth a try I suppose .Be nice to see comments from Highrise Ron, Small Boats Sid, Hooters Harry,
Hopefully all the HS2 renting parasites on the Broadlands estate move there.
Be careful what you wish for. One of the few posters using a tag is Mr me. One like him is more than enough.
