From: Abernant Homes Sent: 29 August 2019 19:47 To: Local Plan Subject: Doncaster Local Plan 2015-2035 (Regulation 19 Publication Stage) Further to your e-mail dated 14th August 2019 - Doncaster Local Plan 2015-2035 (Regulation 19 Publication Stage). If I read this correctly you are asking for resubmission of any call for sites information submitted in 2014. There are two sites (adjacent to each other) which I feel should be taken forward into the next development plan. I have attached location plans (2) and copies of the original call for sites forms (2) which were submitted in 2014. The areas concerned are one of the few sites (and possibly the only sites) within Thorne & Moorends which are in Flood Zone 1. The areas are very close to the Town Centre. The areas have both previously been allocated as Residential Land in the UDP (1989?). Why have they not previously been developed? There are several historic reasons, but none which would prevent development now. We considered an application some time ago but the land was judged to be subject to the Greenfield Moratorium. (wrongly in my view but it matters little now). We were then told that the Council would not accept an outline application because the land neighbours (but is not within) the Thorne Conservation area. We did not want to risk making a full application (which would have to be detailed and expensive) without the comfort of knowing that the land would be allocated for housing. I can’t see why a Council would not accept a red-line outline application with all matters reserved, as the council still have control over all matters (including density and external appearance) but that is how it was. I did not argue the point – at least, not for too long. We then became otherwise engaged in building a LiDL supermarket on another piece of (immediately) adjacent land. This large retail store is now complete and trading and has made a valuable addition to the Thorne Town Centre retail offer. After that we started (and are now almost complete) on a small, very high-quality, residential development in Lock Lane, Thorne. These two sites should be our next project. The town council very much are in favour of these sites being developed (refer to Cllr S, Durant).

I would request that they be included in the forthcoming development plan. We would like to keep an option open on the larger area for another retail development but for the most part the areas would be housing sites. Please give me a call if you have any questions. Peter Wailes Abernant Homes Ltd
