Outline planning permission was approved on
the 19th March 2012 a land south of Woodfield Way, Balby, Doncaster
(known as Carr Lodge) for the development of: a maximum of 1,600
residential homes plus associated community uses, open spaces and
infrastructure. In March 2015 the outline planning permission for
the whole site expired, meaning those areas of land not subject to
approved reserved matters applications do now not benefit from the
planning approval.
In view of the current policy gap, there is a need to provide
additional guidance to support development of the site and ensure
that it takes place in accordance with the outline masterplan and
achieves the high quality aspirations within the planning approval.
The Core Strategy and UDP does not provide sufficient detail to
implement the requirements of the NPPF at the local
level.
To adopt the Carr Lodge Supplementary Planning
Document (SPD) to be used as guidance for development at the site
and a material consideration in the determination of planning
applications.
Do nothing; The Council could rely on existing
national and local planning policies to consider planning
applications, however it is considered that the SPD provides a
necessary level of additional local detail which promotes a high
standard of development in this period where Doncaster has no
detailed up to date planning policies.
