OUTLINE planning permission has been granted for 44 homes on an old steelworks site near Penistone train station following a public inquiry.
Barnsley Council originally rejected plans for properties on a 1.4-hectare site on the former Cammell Laird foundry, off Lairds Way, Springvale because of a potential loss of land which could be used to create jobs.
But the decision has been overturned on appeal, meaning the development can go ahead, subject to detailed plans being approved.
Five letters of objection were sent to the council.
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."
