News: Vistry submits plans for 785 more homes in Rotherham greenbelt
A planning application has been submitted for the largest single development yet for so-called "safeguarded land" in Rotherham.
Rothbiz has reported on a number of recently proposed developments in Rotherham 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.
Rothbiz reported last year that Vistry Group, the company that builds more UK homes than anyone else, had engaged with agents to begin planning enquiries with Rotherham Council on a large parcel of farm land near Dinnington.
Now an application has been submitted for up to 785 dwellings on 26.28 hectares of agricultural land at Oldcotes Road.

Savills listed the site near 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.
Rotherham Council is no longer able to demonstrate a Five-Year Land Supply given the changes at a national level that have increased housing targets. The target for new house building per annum in Rotherham has increased from circa 560 dpa (Dwellings Per Annum) to 1,111 dpa.
Savills, the agents for Vistry, said in the plans that "speculative planning applications for residential development in sustainable locations represent the only way to realistically meet this clear need for housing.
"The proposed development will make contributions necessary to mitigate impacts on infrastructure that places it above capacity. This would be in addition to payments required via the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL).
"Due to the scale of development, there will be a material increase to the use of local services. There are no services where this effects of this would be severe and mitigation measures are possible. Such increases where they exceed the capacity of existing services will be funded through the Section 106 agreement and through the Community Infrastructure Levy."
With two main access points, one via Heathrush Drive onto Oldcotes Road, and one via Leys Lane, plans show a range of house types and sizes with at least 25% affordable housing. The application also includes details of play areas and open space and a SUDS (Sustainable Drainage System) attenuation basin.

Stop stop stop, we all know the plan now, build homes, carry out plan to empty hotels, result coming to a village near you, God knows who, getting homes many of us work our whole lives for and most can only dream of. GET LABOUR OUT, WHILE WE STILL HAVE COUNTRY AND IDENTITY!
No one’s building homes to put asylum seekers in. If and when the homes are built, and they aren’t full of people who were asylum seekers, would you accept that you were wrong?
You seem very concerned, but am unsure where you are getting your information from. How many new build houses do you think there are in Rotherham, or anywhere for that matter, occupied by illegal immigrants?
Bring it on and keep out Farrightage
