Homes on ex-greenbelt recommended for approval
The homes would be built off Averley Lane in Balby, Doncaster
- Published
Plans for 186 new homes on former greenbelt land in South Yorkshire have been recommended for approval.
The homes would be built off Averley Lane in Balby, with the land removed from the greenbelt four years ago when City of Doncaster Council agreed its local plan.
The development is set to have 43 properties marked as "affordable homes", with the 143 others "market housing", the Local Democracy Reporting Service said.
A report said the site is "allocated for housing within the Doncaster local plan and is therefore acceptable in principle".
The plan received 72 third party objections, two neutral representations and one in support.
Officials recommended the council's planning committee to grant planning permission, subject to a number of conditions.
The developer should be required to pay for bus service improvements totalling more than £100,000, the report said, along with £50,000 towards a scheme for greenbelt compensatory improvements.
The local authority will discuss the application on 1 July.
