AROUND 25,000 new homes will need building in Barnsley between now and 2033, according to a new report.
A new 20-year plan just released by the council sets out its ambitions for housing, investment and management in the borough.
The plan states that housing growth is important to ensure a sustainable and thriving housing market that supports Barnsley's economy. It suggests 20,000 to 25,000 new homes will need building in the next 20 years.
