A new Local Plan related consultation is now open. The Local Plan (adopted on 3 January 2019) contains policies to be considered when determining planning applications. Supplementary planning documents (SPDs) contain further advice and explain how these policies will be applied.
A number of SPDs were adopted following the adoption of the Local Plan, including the design of housing development SPD. Amendments are proposed to update this document and clarify some issues to improve its implementation.
We’re asking for your views on the revised design of the Housing Development SPD during the four week consultation period running from Monday 3 October to Monday 31 October 2022. Comments received will be considered when drafting the final version.
You can find out more about the proposed changes, read the consultation document and make your comments using our online form on our website at www.barnsley.gov.uk/HousingSPD
The documents can also be viewed online or as paper copies at Library@thelightbox, 1 The Glassworks, Barnsley Town Centre, and at all branch libraries across the borough, during normal opening hours. You can access the internet for free at all libraries in Barnsley.
If you can’t complete the online form you can also submit your comments by:
