Hatfield Lane, Barnby Dun, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, DN3

We are delighted to offer for sale, this outstanding freehold, residential development opportunity, that benefits from a Housing Allocation (BD02) for 98 units within the recently adopted Doncaster Local Plan (September 2021). Whilst the allocation indicates a capacity of 98 units, we are of the opinion that the site could accommodate in the region of 180 units and that increasing the number should not present too much of a problem in planning terms.

Barnby Dun is a village located within the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster. The village is situated on the North Eastern fringe of the city of Doncaster, approximately 5KM from the city centre as the crow flies and is well served by local amenities including a primary school, which is rated OFSTED Good and currently appears to have capacity.

As well as regular bus services to Doncaster city centre, Hatfield and Stainforth railway station is situated 1KM North East of the site and Junction 4 of the M18 is approximately 3KM to the South East. The site is centred around Grid Reference SE623092

The Site:

The subject site/ allocation extends to approximately 10.1ha, (25 acres) and situated to the North of Hatfield Lane at the Eastern end of the village. Hatfield Lane is adopted up to the junction of Meadow Field Road and beyond that to the East it is a bridal way. The site slopes very gently from Hatfield Lane in a Northerly direction and affords extensive open views across the countryside beyond. The site is bounded by houses to the South of Hatfield Lane, the Doncaster/ Hull/Scunthorpe railway line to the East and further housing to the West (Parkhill Road and Broseley Avenue). It is currently used as arable farming land.

The land sits partially in Flood Zone 1 (FZ1) and partially in Flood Zone 3 (FZ3) and our understanding, something that is backed up in the allocation text is that the section of the site within FZ1 can be developed upon and the balance could be appropriate for 'water compatible' uses such as POS. In addition to this an area just to the North of the allocation also sits within FZ1 and we believe it is worth exploring whether this area can be used for Surface Water attenuation and the delivery of the Biodiversity Net Gain.

For further information on the above please contact the selling agent.

Tender Process:

The land is for sale via informal tender. All tenders are to be received in writing at the agents address by noon on Friday 1st July. We will accept electronic submissions provided the hard copy is in the post.

Viewing:

The land is easily viewable from Hatfield Lane itself and we would ask anyone who wishes to go onto the land to please inform the selling agent when you plan to be there so we might inform the tenant farmer. Please tread carefully so as not to cause too much damage to the crop currently being cultivated and where possible please stick to the tramlines.
