Issue details

The City of Doncaster Council has approved ambitious plans to deliver more affordable homes, including more Council housing. The acquisitions programme forms a key element of the 5 year (2020-2025) ‘Housing Delivery Plan’ (HDP) approved at Cabinet on 12th January 2021. In June 2022 Cabinet gave approval to the purchase of affordable housing brought forward as part of the development of the land at Hatfield Lane East, Armthorpe with Albemarle Homes Ltd following planning permission being secured.
A number of opportunities have been identified to purchase targeted new builds through the city, which will help meet the specific local affordable housing need, especially where the Council has no or limited land to develop Council housing, ensuring a suitable geographical balance of new Council housing across the city. These new homes will form part of the Council House Build Programme (CHBP) and will be let through St. Leger Homes.
