Description
Site Overview
We are delighted to offer for sale this outstanding residential development opportunity, extending to 9.79 acres (3.96 Ha).
The site is currently utilised as agricultural land, roughly triangular in shape and is accessed from a field gate located centrally on the western boundary. The site slopes from West to East and is bound to the West by Gilroyd Lane beyond which are residential properties. The Trans Pennine Trail (PROW) forms the Southern boundary, with Dodworth Dyke, beyond which lies the M1 motorway to the East. To the North lies an area of dense woodland.
Centred around Grid Reference SE 327045 and held under Title SYK588773, the site is anticipated to deliver in the region of 70 dwellings.
Town Planning
The site benefits from a formal Pre-Application with Barnsley Borough Council, with a response received in June 2026. The Pre-Application proposal was for the development of circa 70 dwellings with a 45% provision of affordable housing. The figure is not fixed and the number of units will be determined by your preferred mix and density.
The site is classified as Green Belt within the local plan. The Council considered the ‘principle of development’ within the Pre-App and are generally positive in relation to it meeting the necessary criteria for a Grey Belt application.
BMBC have suggested that a Section 106 agreement including the 45% affordable housing (recommended tenure split of 70% affordable rent and 30% affordable home ownership), on-site open space (15%), education contributions and a BNG monitoring fee would be appropriate.
Additional Information
All Planning and Technical due diligence undertaken to date to support the Pre-App that was made to Barnsley Borough Council. For copies of this information please contact the selling agents.
Title
The land is held under Title No. SYK588773. This title covers two areas of land, but it is only the larger, roughly triangular shaped piece located to the South on the Title Plan that is included within this sale.
Viewings
The site (currently utilised as agricultural land) can be seen from Gilroyd Lane. Please do not walk the site without prior consent from the sole selling agent.
