PROPOSALS for more than 2,000 homes between Barugh Green and Pogmoor will be available for people to view.

House builder Strata and planning consultants Spawforths are hosting a consultation event, as they prepare the 'Barnsley West' masterplan.

It is proposed the site - which sits between Barugh Green, Pogmoor, Higham and Gawber - could accommodate space for 1,500 private and 170 affordable homes, employment space, a medical centre, a primary school, shops, public green space and a new road to divert traffic from Barugh Green and Higham.

The consultation will provide people with the chance to look at the plans, ask questions and make comments.

 

Strata and Spawforths said the site is currently in the green belt but is preferred over other greenbelt sites because the development would be bound by recognisable physical features.

Residents opposed to the proposals have formed the Keep It Green 2014 group.

 

The consultation will be held at Barugh Green Club on July 8 from 10am-7pm.

 

He said people with issues or enquiries regarding the consultation should contact Spawforths directly on 01924 876876 or e-mail katherine.clegg@spawforths.co.uk
