|
| 4.1.2 Employment Sites |
| |
| |
|
| IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DEVELOPMENT
STRATEGY THE FOLLOWING SITES, AS SHOWN ON THE PROPOSALS MAP, ARE ALLOCATED
FOR EMPLOYMENT USES AND RELATED DEVELOPMENT: |
| EMS
1 |
SOUTH KIRKBY/FERRYMOOR RIDDINGS
(46.7 HECTARES/115.3 ACRES) |
| |
| Site of former colliery yards. The opening of
the Hemsworth By-Pass has made this site more accessible and attractive,
providing access to the strategic highway network which avoids the centre
of Hemsworth. Planning permission was given in October 1998 for the reclamation
of the former South Kirkby and Ferrymoor Riddings Collieries Yards and outline
permission for business, industrial and warehousing development was granted
on 1 February 1999. The site boundary is extended to Hague Lane in the west,
taking in land formerly in the Green Belt, to increase the prominence of
the site and create an area of frontage development. The additional land
is designated for employment and ancillary uses with the emphasis on B2
and B8. The site has potential to be served by rail and has been extended
to include former Green Belt land alongside the railway lines to the north-east
to facilitate exploitation of this potential. The revised route of the Hemsworth-A1
Link Road will assist the development of this site in the longer term. |
| Supplementary Planning Guidance for the development
of this site will be revised to incorporate guidance regarding the development
of the extension areas. |
| |
| |
|
| EMS
2 |
LANGTHWAITE GRANGE EXTENSION
(12 HECTARES/29 ACRES APPROX) |
| |
| It is proposed that the existing estate be extended
to the south down to Broad Lane, and would incorporate the Standard Fireworks
Factory. Proposed uses, B2 General Industry. Consideration will need to
be given to improvements to the junction of Langthwaite Road with Barnsley
Road in conjunction with the development of this site. |
| |
| |
|
| EMS
3 |
DALE LANE EXTENSION
(13 HECTARES/32.2 ACRES APPROX) |
| |
| This site is almost completely developed. |
| |
| |
|
| EMS
4 |
DALE LANE SOUTH
(40 HECTARES/99 ACRES APPROX) |
| |
| This allocation is an extension to the existing
industrial estate. Part of the site has been developed - approximately 13
hectares remain. The following classes of use are considered to be acceptable
in principle: Light Industrial/General Warehousing (B1), General Industrial
(B2) and Warehousing (B8). No direct access should be allowed onto Doncaster
Road or Field Lane. The development brief pays particular attention to the
landscape treatment of the land, including the need for advance mounding,
some of which has already been constructed, and planting and ameliorative
design measures to reduce the impact of the development on the adjoining
open landscape. |
| |
| |
|
| EMS
5 |
WAGGON LANE, UPTON
(4 HECTARES/10 ACRES APPROX) |
| |
| It is proposed that two areas of land fronting
onto Waggon Lane, be allocated for industrial purposes. Due to the sites
location and local road network, both sites are only considered suitable
for light industrial uses probably in the form of small industrial units. |
| |
| |
|
| 4.1.3 Employment Zones |
| Section 5 of Volume 2 gives the policy relating
to the identification and operation of Employment Zones within the Plan. |
| |
| |
|
| THE AREAS LISTED BELOW AND
SHOWN ON THE PROPOSALS MAP ARE DESIGNATED EMPLOYMENT ZONES, WITHIN WHICH
POLICY I5 WILL APPLY: |
| EMS
6 |
LANGTHWAITE GRANGE
(56.7 HECTARES/140 ACRES) |
| |
| An existing industrial estate which was previously
designated an Enterprise Zone under the Local Government, Planning and Land
Act 1980, a designation which has now expired. |
| |
| |
|
| EMS
7 |
DALE LANE
(16.2 HECTARES/40 ACRES APPROX) |
| |
| Part of this industrial area at Dale Lane which
was designated an Enterprise Zone under the Local Government Planning and
Land Act 1980, a designation which has now expired. |
| |
| |
|
| 4.2 HOUSING PROPOSALS |
| 4.2.1 Introduction |
| Section 6 of Volume 2 describes the role of the
Plan in relation to the housing needs of the District. New housing sites
are allocated in accordance with criteria set out in Section 6 and Policy
H6. Any further large scale allocations (over and above those allocated
in the Plan) are not required to meet the housing requirement set out in
Policy H1. |
| |
| |
|
| 4.2.2 Housing Sites |
| |
| |
|
| IN ACCORDANCE WITH POLICY
H1 THE FOLLOWING SITES, AS SHOWN ON THE PROPOSALS
MAP, ARE ALLOCATED FOR HOUSING AND RELATED PURPOSES: |
| EMS
8 |
HIGH STREET, UPTON
(3.8 HECTARES/9.4 ACRES APPROX) |
| |
| Development of this site is almost complete,
only a small area remains allocated at the southern end. |
| |
| |
|
| EMS
9 |
EAST OF SCHOOL STREET, UPTON
(0.5 HECTARES/1.2 ACRES APPROX) |
| |
| A small area of vacant land exists between St.
Michael's Church and Harewood Lane School. It is considered to be a suitable
infill site in principle for residential development as the logical line
for the Green Belt follows the eastern boundaries of the Shinwell redevelopment
site to the north and the school to the south. It is anticipated that the
site will accommodate about 12 dwellings. |
| |
| |
|
| EMS
12 |
WAGGON LANE, UPTON
(1.5 HECTARES/3.7 ACRES APPROX) |
| |
| Development of this site is almost complete,
only a small area remains at the eastern end. |
| |
| |
|
| EMS
60 |
COMMON LANE, UPTON
(6.3 HECTARES) |
| |
| This is the site of the former Upton Middle School
which has full planning permission for residential development and is under
construction. |
| |
| |
|
| EMS
14 |
LANGTHWAITE LANE, SOUTH KIRKBY
(8.5 HECTARES/21 ACRES APPROX) |
| |
| The main part of the site is Council owned for
which outline planning permission was granted in 1980. Highway improvements
would be required to Langthwaite Lane together with a link through to Beech
Street. |
| |
| |
|
| EMS
16 |
CARR LANE, FORMER FAITH STREET AREA, SOUTH
KIRKBY
(2.0 HECTARES/4.9 ACRES APPROX) |
| |
| An area of land to the east of Carr Lane and
bounded by the beck to the north, has been allocated for residential purposes.
Development has been completed on part of the site, 0.6 hectares remains
allocated. |
| |
| |
|
| EMS
17 |
COMMON ROAD, SOUTH KIRKBY
(1 HECTARE/2.5 ACRES APPROX) |
| |
| A small site adjacent to existing housing fronting
onto Common Road. |
| |
| |
|
| EMS
20 |
NORTH STREET, SOUTH KIRKBY
(2.8 HECTARES/7 ACRES APPROX) |
| |
| This site has full planning permission for housing
and is under construction. |
| |
| |
|
| EMS
24 |
ROWLEY LANE, SOUTH ELMSALL
(1 HECTARE/2.5 ACRES APPROX) |
| |
| This privately owned site should be accessed
from the adjoining plot rather than from Rowley Lane itself which is below
the necessary standard required. Foul drainage would require pumping, and
a new surface water drainage outfall would be required. The surface outcrop
of a fault is known to cross the site. It is expected that the site could
accommodate some 20 dwellings. Some development has taken place around the
edges of the site, providing 6 dwellings with access from Moorehouse Court.
An outline planning permission granted in September 1996 allows 4 dwellings
on the south western edge of the site. |
| |
| |
|
| EMS
61 |
THE BRICKYARD, WESTFIELD LANE, SOUTH ELMSALL
(4.8 HECTARES) |
| |
| This site on the edge of the town centre is a
former quarry filled primarily with colliery spoil. Public transport facilities
are in close proximity, and a Development Brief has been prepared. |
| The prime constraints affecting the development
of the site are the need for appropriate access arrangements to be made,
and possible adverse ground conditions including stability and contamination. |
| |
| |
|
| EMS
62 |
DONCASTER ROAD, SOUTH ELMSALL
(4.4 HECTARES) |
| |
| This site lies on the eastern edge of the town
adjoining a large residential area. Provision must be made within the development
for public open space, possibly linked to adjacent playing fields. |
| A ground survey will be required in order to
investigate the presence of any contamination. The site lies within the
1 in 100 year floodplain and development cannot be considered without compensatory
flood storage. Should the surface water be discharged to sewers, balancing
will be required. A combined sewer runs along the north east edge of the
site. If the surface water is to be discharged to a watercourse, on-site
balancing of flows and off-site watercourse improvements will be required.
A low voltage electricity cable and a footpath that cross the site will
both require diversion. An ecological survey may be required. |
| |
| |
|
| EMS
63 |
CHAPEL LANE / HIGH STREET, SOUTH ELMSALL
(1.2 HECTARES) |
| |
| This site has full planning permission for 22
dwellings. |
| |
| |
|
| 4.2.3 Environmental Improvement
of Existing Housing Areas |
| In accordance with Central Government policy
and District Council policies, improvements to the housing environments
and the internal modernisation of older properties will continue during
the Plan period (see Section 6 of Volume 2 and Policy H10 in Volume 1).
All housing areas in this District have been investigated on a basis of
provision of basic household amenities, residential environment and life
of property. Areas which are not considered appropriate for declaration
as Renewal Areas under the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 may still
be given priority for improvement. The areas listed below continue to be
considered as priority for improvement. |
| |
| |
|
| THE HOUSING AREA LISTED BELOW,
AS SHOWN ON THE PROPOSALS MAP, IS TO BE GIVEN PRIORITY OVER OTHER HOUSING
AREAS IN THE COMMUNITY AREA FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT: |
| EMS
25 |
DONCASTER ROAD, SOUTH ELMSALL |
| |
| |
|
| 4.3 COMMUNITY FACILITIES PROPOSALS |
| 4.3.1 Introduction |
| The Council's Community Facilities land-use policy
is outlined in Section 9 of Volume 2. The provision of small scale facilities
such as those required by the Library Services or Social Services, normally
require a site below the size threshold for inclusion in the Plan. Small
sites to accommodate such uses are not therefore identified on the Proposals
Map. These facilities could be provided on parts of sites allocated primarily
for other purposes or on small sites within the existing urban area. |
| |
| |
|
| 4.4 TRANSPORT PROPOSALS |
| 4.4.1 Introduction |
| The Transport Section of Volume 1 of the Plan
presents a package of policies which seek to ensure that the accessibility
needs of all sections of the community are fully met for existing and new
development through an acceptable level of investment. |
| The Local Transport Plan identifies the South
East Area (together with the Five Towns) for targeting resources and measures.
For the Elmsall community area there will be an emphasis on improving the
attractiveness of bus services for residents, in particular to work with
the SESKU partnership and South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive
to identify public transport solutions that would help local people to reach
to employment initiatives both within the Wakefield District and in South
Yorkshire. Measures will be implemented for improving conditions for pedestrians
and cyclists, particularly for school journeys. |
| |
| |
|
| 4.4.2 Major Highway Schemes |
| |
| |
|
| IN ACCORDANCE WITH POLICY
T6, THE FOLLOWING SCHEME AS SHOWN ON THE
PROPOSALS MAP WILL BE PROTECTED FROM DEVELOPMENT PENDING FURTHER INVESTIGATIONS: |
| EMS
27 |
HEMSWORTH - A1 LINK ROAD |
| |
| As part of the overall social and economic regeneration
of the south east of the District it is intended to improve accessibility
to the major highway network, with the objectives of improving accessibility
for the people of the area and making the locality more attractive to developers,
particularly industrialists. A scheme to link the Hemsworth By-Pass with
the A638 at Upton, known as the Hemsworth-A1 link is part of this strategy. |
| The scheme would be difficult to justify in traffic
terms alone and is dependent upon industrial development proposals in the
Hemsworth area and most notably the South Kirkby / Ferrymoor Riddings site
(EMS 1). The revised route at its western end better serves this employment
allocation. |
| |
| |
|
| EMS
64 |
A1 IMPROVEMENTS |
| |
| The Department of the Environment, Transport
and the Regions intends to upgrade the Redhouse to Hook Moor sections of
the A1 trunk road. A formal preferred route has not been established for
the Redhouse-Ferrybridge section and its construction is not programmed,
but a route is being safeguarded. This scheme is the subject of further
studies. |
| |
| |
|

| |
| Reclamation works on the tips and perimeter of
the colliery yard have been completed. The site contains open water areas.
Potential future land uses include agricultural land and public open space.
A bridleway and footpath links to adjoining settlements and recreational
areas are proposed. Reclamation of the colliery yard area for employment
after-use is programmed to take place early in the plan period. |
| |
|
| EMS
67 FORMER FRICKLEY COLLIERY YARD |
| |
| This extensive derelict site includes
considerable areas of concrete hardstanding and old infrastructure. The
site lies predominantly in the Green Belt and is proposed to have a casual
recreation afteruse. Its reclamation is a priority scheme in the Council's
Land Reclamation Programme. The proposals, including bridleway footpath
and cycleway links, will be formulated in consultation with the local community. |
| |
| |
|
| 4.5.7 Washlands |
| The following policy is included in the interests
of the proper land drainage and flood prevention of the area. Further general

| 4.6 LEISURE PROPOSALS |
| 4.6.1 Introduction |
| Information and policies on recreation and leisure
are outlined in Section 8 of Volume 2. |
| The area is reasonably well provided for in respect
of open space, including parks, although in isolated areas, particularly
where older housing is concentrated, there is a lack of incidental playing
areas. |
| The settlements have no publicly available indoor
sports facilities at their disposal, although there is a swimming pool available
for public use at Minsthorpe Community College. There may be opportunities
to develop parts of the areas of derelict land for recreational use should
sites become available during the Plan period. For example, the former Upton
Colliery site has been restored and a range of recreation facilities has
been provided including sports pitches, fishing lakes and woodland walks.
South Elmsall brickworks could provide for some open space close to the
town centre. |
| |
| |
|
| 4.6.2 Public Local Amenity Open
Space |
| It is proposed to provide local amenity open
space as follows:- |
| |
| |
|
| IN ACCORDANCE WITH POLICY
L1 PUBLIC LOCAL AMENITY OPEN SPACE IS ALLOCATED
ON THE FOLLOWING SITES, AS SHOWN ON THE PROPOSALS MAP: |
| EMS
45 |
FIELD LANE QUARRY, SOUTH ELMSALL |
| |
| Field Lane Quarry is in the process of being
filled and when the site is full it is hoped that 1.1 hectares/2.8 acres
east of Valley Avenue can be converted to a public open space after use. |
| |
| |
|
| EMS
46 |
SULLIVAN GROVE, SOUTH KIRKBY |
| |
|
| The Burntwood and Grove Estate area of South
Kirkby has one of the worst open space deficiencies in this Community Area.
As a result some 0.4 hectares/1 acre of agricultural land has been allocated
for public open space purposes in the expectation that resources might be
available to implement the project within the Plan period. |
| |
| |
|
| EMS
72 |
SHINWELL ESTATE |
| |
| This is part of a cleared housing site no longer
required for housing. The Council will adopt it as Public Amenity Open Space. |
| |
| |
|
| 4.6.3 Playing Fields/Sports
Grounds |
| Section 8 of Volume 2 outlines the advantages
of grouping facilities in accessible locations. |
| |
| |
|
| IN ACCORDANCE WITH POLICIES
L1 AND L2
PLAYING FIELDS / ADDITIONAL SPORTS PITCHES WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE FOLLOWING
LOCATIONS, AS SHOWN ON THE PROPOSALS MAP; SUBJECT TO AVAILABLE RESOURCES: |
| EMS
47 |
MINSTHORPE PLAYING FIELDS |
| |
| The opportunity exists to develop a range of
sports pitches in this location. |
| |
| |
|
| EMS
48 |
DONCASTER ROAD, SOUTH ELMSALL |
| |
| The Council intends to provide sports pitches
on land previously used as a sports ground off Doncaster Road, but which
has fallen into disuse because of flooding problems. Material from Frickley
Tip is likely to be used in the reclamation of the former Frickley Colliery
Yard site and the tip area will then be regraded and landscaped. This will
resolve drainage difficulties and provide the opportunity for the sports
pitches to be brought back into use. |
| |
| |
|
| 4.6.4 Community Use of Leisure
Facilities |
| Section 8 of Volume 2 describes the need to maximise
existing resources in terms of recreational facilities, both public and
private. The need for indoor sports facilities could be partially met by
the increased public use of school buildings. Therefore:- |
| |
| |
|
| IN ACCORDANCE WITH POLICY
L4 FACILITIES, INCLUDING BUILDINGS AND PLAYING
FIELDS, AT THE FOLLOWING SCHOOLS PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR USE BY THE COMMUNITY: |

| 4.7 RETAILING PROPOSALS |
| 4.7.1 Introduction |
| Section 7 of Volume 2 details the policies which
are designed to encourage retail development within specified "retail area"
boundaries of certain town centres. |
| |
| |
|
| 4.7.2 South Elmsall Town Centre |
| |
| |
|
| EMS
56 |
IN ACCORDANCE WITH POLICIES S1
AND S2. THE RETAIL AREA FOR SOUTH ELMSALL
TOWN CENTRE IS IDENTIFIED ON THE APPROPRIATE INSET MAP, WITHIN WHICH RETAIL
DEVELOPMENT WILL GENERALLY BE ENCOURAGED. |
| |
| This area has been identified on the basis of
seeking to consolidate existing shopping activities within a clearly defined
area, outside of which, they increasingly become secondary to other primary
uses. |
| |
| |
|
| 4.7.3 Primary Shopping Frontages |
| In addition, Policy S6 recognises that within
'retail areas' certain important shopping frontages need a measure of protection
from ad-hoc change of use, incompatible with their primary shopping purpose. |
| |
| |
|
| EMS
57 |
IN ACCORDANCE WITH POLICY S6,
PRIMARY SHOPPING FRONTAGES ARE IDENTIFIED ON THE SOUTH ELMSALL INSET MAP
WHERE CHANGE OF USE TO NON-RETAIL USES WILL BE RESTRICTED. |
| |
| The identified frontages represent the principal
shopping frontages in South Elmsall town centre. It is recognised that certain
non-retail uses can enhance the facilities offered to shoppers, but safeguards
are required to ensure that the predominantly shopping character of these
frontages is not undermined. |
| |
| |
|
| 4.8 SPECIAL POLICY AREAS AND
SUPPLEMENTARY PLANNING GUIDANCE |
| 4.8.1 Introduction |
| Certain areas in the Plan are considered suitable
for more than one use, or need to be developed in the context of a primary
use supported by ancillary or complementary uses. Such areas are designated
Special Policy Areas as detailed below. |
| Areas which are considered to warrant the preparation
of Supplementary Planning Guidance are referred to within the text accompanying
the specific allocations in this Community Area. Supplementary Planning
Guidance may also be prepared for other allocations, major development sites
and areas of conflicting or incremental development proposals, as such proposals
arise or appear imminent. These may need to take priority over those specifically
referred to in the Plan. |
| |
| |
|
| 4.8.2 Special Policy Area |
| |
|
| |
|
| EMS
59 |
SHEEPWALK LANE, UPTON
(24 HECTARES/60 ACRES) |
| |
| This area, adjacent to Upton and close to the
A1 at Barnsdale Bar, has been designated a Special Policy Area. The location
is considered suitable for a single large industrial land user which could
not be accommodated on sites allocated for general industrial purposes.
Development would necessitate the provision of a suitable means of access
direct to Wrangbrook Lane. |
| |
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
