Location: Dunscroft, Dunsville, Hatfield, Stainforth

Tier: Main Town

Housing Requirement: 575 - 1085 (2018 - 2033)

Allocated: 1828 units (to 2033)

Via commitments: 1720 units

Via allocations: 108 units

Settlement Summary:

Dunscroft, Dunsville, Hatfield & Stainfroth are four contiguous settlements forming one Main Town

in the settlement hierarchy. It is therefore expected to deliver housing to meet its local housing

needs (575), plus up to 510 additional units as a share of the boroughs economic uplift

requirement (up to 1085 in total).

What are the main physical and policy constraints to growth in this location?

Flood Risk

National policy states areas at risk of flooding should be avoided where possible. According to the

Council’s Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (November 2015) large part of the settlement and land

to the north-east is high risk of flooding (Flood Risk Zone 3). However, the maps do not take

account of the presence of flood defences and how they may reduce flood risk to the Town. Other

sources of flood risk, such as surface water flooding, must also be considered.

Countryside

The Town is surrounded by a local Countryside designation identified on the map via the yellow shading.

How much housing needs to be identified in the settlement?

Given the supply of housing in this settlement far exceeds the target of 575—1085 new houses in

the period 2018 - 2033, there is no need to identify additional housing sites in the settlement.

However, some additional sites are being proposed in this location to boost supply, as set out

overleaf.

What other information is available?

This document provides a very brief summary of the evidence base that has informed the decisions on whether sites should be supported or rejected. Further information and detail therefore can be seen

through the Site Selection Methodology & Results Report published alongside this consultation and available to view via: www.doncaster.gov.uk/localplan

How many permissions will contribute towards the settlements housing need?

As at 2018, the supply of permissions in Dunscroft, Dunsville, Hatfield & Stainforth is 1720 units

over 13 sites (to 2033, although the size of the DN7 initiative means this scheme is projected to

not be completed until the 2040s). This is 743 units more than the top of the housing range for the

settlement.

Site no: 171 - North Side of High Street (183 units)

Rejected Housing Site - The Sustainability Appraisal identified the

site as having major negative effects in respect to built heritage as-

Due to the findings of the Sustainability Appraisal, and the detailed

Heritage Impact Assessment that supports these findings, the site is

not supported as an allocation.

Site no: 784 - Cuckoo Lane, Hatfield (36 units)

Proposed Housing Site - The site is 1.21 hectares and currently occupied by a commercial

building with hard standing car park area with a large area of scrubland on the eastern section

of the site. The majority of the site is greenfield therefore. The site is capable of accommodat-

ing 36 dwellings. There are residential uses to the west and educational facilities to the north

and south with open agricultural land to the east. The site is already designated as Residential

Policy Area and the landowner has indicated through the call for sites that the site is no longer

required for existing commercial use. The site performs well through the Sustainability Apprais-

al with mostly positive and neutral effects. Allocating the site will provide additional supply for

the settlement and help boost housing in line with national policy on a former brownfield site.

Site no: 187 - Adj. 17 Lings Lane (15 units)

Rejected Housing Site - The site is 0.5 hectares and currently forms an extension to the domestic curtilage of No

17 Lings Lane, as well as including the dwelling itself. The site is greenfield therefore and capable of accommo-

dating 15 dwellings. There are existing residential uses to the west of the site and agricultural uses to the north,

east and west, including a number of agricultural buildings to the immediate south. The site is currently designat-

ed as Countryside Policy Area and would form a modest urban extension to the settlement. The existing Coun-

tryside boundary is considered defensible and it is not considered justified to allocate this site for housing when

other permissions/urban sites/less defensible countryside sites have been identified at the town that far outnum-

Rejected Housing Site - The site extends to 25.1 hectares

in size and is bound by Lings Lane to the east, Wood-

house Lane to the south and Doncaster Road to the south

-west. Agricultural land lies to the north of the site but this

has planning permission for residential development (see

site reference 970). The site is capable of providing 621

dwellings. The site is currently designated as Countryside

Policy Area and would form a large urban extension to the

settlement. The existing Countryside boundary is consid-

ered defensible and it is not considered justified to allo-

cate this site for housing when other permissions/urban

sites/less defensible countryside sites have been identi-

fied at the town that far outnumber the scale of the settle-

ment’s housing requirement. Conclusion = reject site

reference 1038.

triangular piece of land located between Doncaster Road and Hat-

residential dwellings fronting on to Lings Lane along the eastern

site boundary, as well as along the north-western boundary with

Doncaster Road. The land is agricultural to the south and south-

west. The site is currently Countryside Policy Area, but the granting

of planning permission on site reference 970 to the south/south-

west of this site has essentially created an island of non-defensible

Countryside so for this reason the site is proposed to be allocated.
