A DECISION on a controversial housing development in Bolton-upon-Dearne has been deferred at the request of a local residents' group.
The decision on whether developers Gleeson should be allowed to extend their current building in the area by 58 houses had been due to be discussed at Barnsley Council's planning board meeting on Tuesday.
But an appeal from the Friends of Lowfield Road Action Group (FLAG) was considered by the board and a site visit will now take place before a decision is made.
** The full story appears in the Barnsley Chronicle newspaper, dated February 20. **
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."
