Doncaster approves Stainforth Neighbourhood Plan
Supported by Pegasus, plans for the ‘pro-development’ neighbourhood include more than 200 homes on the former Hatfield Colliery site.
The former mining town lies north east of Doncaster. Stainforth’s 2035 vision includes open spaces, community facilities, and local employment options.
Doncaster Council approved the plan at a meeting on 21 November.
Phill Bedford, chair of the Neighbourhood Plan group at Doncaster Town Council said: “Adoption of the Stainforth Neighbourhood Plan is a significant achievement for the local community.
“The Pegasus Group team stood out among the consultants we’ve worked with due to their professionalism, expertise, and hard work.”
Matthew Good, senior director ‑ planning at Pegasus Group commented: “Over the last four years, we have worked hand in hand with Stainforth Town Council to build the NDP and support an important community-led regeneration programme.
“Through this project we have addressed complex issues from transformation of the former pit site, to plans for listed buildings such as colliery headstocks, and extant permissions.
“Our multidisciplinary approach has enabled us to advise across planning, heritage, environment and urban design, to enable the best possible outcome for Stainforth residents.”
