A DECISION on a contentious housing development in Hoylandswaine was put back at a lively planning meeting.
BDW Trading's application for 66 executive-style homes off Haigh Lane, bordering Hoylandswaine primary school and St John's Church, was the focus of heated debate at last Tuesday's planning board meeting.
Councillors spent more than an hour discussing the merits of the development, with most in agreement that, in principle, it was acceptable before deciding to defer the application for more detail.
** The full story appears in the Barnsley Chronicle, dated January 23. **
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."
