Ben Bailey Homes expands South Yorkshire pipeline
The Barnsley-based developer has purchased 71 plots at Danum Glade in Doncaster and a further 42 plots at Woolley Colliery Road in Barnsley from MJ Gleeson.
Both sites benefit from detailed planning permission, with construction expected to launch in spring 2027.
The acquisitions have been funded by the St Bride’s White Rose Residential Partnership for an undisclosed sum, and form part of Ben Bailey Homes’ strategy to expand its presence across Yorkshire.
Ben Bailey Ltd director Jon Bailey said: “We are delighted to confirm the acquisition of these two new sites, which reflect our continuing commitment to the development of new homes in South Yorkshire.
“The two new sites in Doncaster and Barnsley are an important step in delivering our business plan of growing the numbers of high-quality homes that we are delivering across the South Yorkshire region.
“We are particularly pleased to once again be working closely with the St Bride’s White Rose Residential Partnership, a significant investor in residential properties across South Yorkshire and one that backs well-run housebuilding businesses with a track record of delivering homes in the region.”
Ian Houston, partner at St Bride’s, added: “Following their recent successes at their schemes at Upper Haugh and Swinton, we are delighted to be continuing our relationship with Ben Bailey and supporting their growth plans to deliver more quality homes across the South Yorkshire region.”
