A BLUEPRINT for future housing and business developments in the town will not be altered - despite calls for a review.
Barnsley’s local plan, which was adopted by the council in 2019 following public consultation, sets out how the local authority will manage the physical development of the borough.
It has been mired in controversy due to large-scale development on former green belt land.
Cabinet members discussed how it’s fared during Wednesday’s meeting, but ruled out changes.
“We have concluded that the plan and its policies remain fit for purpose, so it is not proposed to be updated and there will be no such public consultation,” a council spokesperson said.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
