Conisbrough & Denaby Map reference: A Number of Councillors proposed: 3 Electorate forecast to 2019: 12,362 Electorate variance: -2.8% This ward contains three communities that are all attached and bounded on the North side by the River Don; Conisbrough, Denaby Main and Old Denaby. This historic ward has been enlarged to incorporate part of Conisbrough village that was moved into an adjacent ward in the last boundary change. The community ties are strong. All schools feed into the de Warenne Academy in Conisbrough and most residents use GP and health facilities at one of the two health centres located in the ward. This is a ward with natural and well defined boundaries. 2. Edlington & Warmsworth Map reference: B Number of Councillors proposed: 3 Electorate forecast to 2019: 13,101 Electorate variance: 3.0% This ward is an enlargement of the existing Edlington & Warmsworth ward. Part of Conisbrough has been removed, as described above. Warmsworth is a well- defined parish but forms part of a continuum with Edlington. Large sections of Warmsworth lie off Edlington Lane, the principal road that runs through both communities. The communities share a cemetery, fire station, a health centre, and a secondary school. At the Southern end of Edlington, and within the Edlington town council area lies Old Edlington; a small community that shares schools, health and shops with Edlington. Edlington description, please add: The villages to the south of Edlington form a natural hinterland. Edlington village provides both the most direct access to Doncaster from Braithwell and Micklebring, and the most immediate access to supermarkets, health centres and libraries. Clifton parish is closely connected to Edlington. 4 Wadworth, Loversall and the Woodfield Plantation area form a reasonable addition to this ward, and for being grouped together in the same ward. Wadworth provides the natural primary school for all three communities. The majority of children from the Woodfield Plantation attend Wadworth primary, some access the Loversall nursery and all access the Tesco adjacent to Woodfield Plantation. Indeed, Woodfield Plantation was marketed as "Upper Loversall", despite a geographical connection to Balby. The secondary pupils from these communities access a range of schools including Sir Thomas Wharton Community College, Edlington. With their own parish councils and histories, neither Wadworth nor Loversall are natural partners of either Rossington or Tickhill. 3. Tickhill Map reference: C Number of Councillors proposed: 1 Electorate forecast to 2019: 4512 Electorate variance: 6.5% This ward is defined by the community of Tickhill, which dates back to Norman times (the Wick Hill). The motte and walls of Tickhill castle stand to this day. Tickhill is a well-defined, self-sufficient market town, with its own parish council serving the town and a small parish hinterland. The community is self-contained with library, GPs, nurseries, and primary schools and a range of shops all available within the town. Sitting on the southern edge of the borough, Tickhill is well-suited to be single member ward. 5 4. Rossington & Bawtry Map reference: D Number of Councillors proposed: 3 Electorate forecast to 2019: 12,924 Electorate variance: 1.7% Rossington, a former mining village and self-contained parish has a strong local identity; and strong social and community bonds. Stretching beyond its south eastern axis down the Great North Road (Bawtry Road), its rural estates meet the Northern Racing College and the woodlands that surround Bawtry. Both Rossington and Bawtry are divided by the East Coast railway line. Rossington is 20% too large to be a two member ward. It is not easily divided; and lying in the south east of the borough, Bawtry forms a suitable partner, whilst recognising that the town of Bawtry, a well-defined market town is culturally different from Rossington. 5. Finningley Map reference: E Number of Councillors proposed: 3 Electorate forecast to 2019: 12,861 Electorate variance: 1.2% This ward includes the villages that surround Robin Hood Airport, each with their own parish council, and the southern half of Bessacarr Cantley which is a large and extensive suburb. Where Bessacarr starts, and Cantley ends, are difficult to define in precise terms. Across Bessacarr Cantley, the current ward boundary of Church Lane and Cantley Lane are useful well-defined boundaries. The villages that reach beyond Cantley Lane: Branton, Auckley, Blaxton and Finningley, all represent an eastern corridor to the edge of the borough and share local bus routes and amenities. 6 6. Hatfield Map reference: F Number of Councillors proposed: 3 Electorate forecast to 2019: 12,048 Electorate variance: -5.2% This expansion of Hatfield and Dunscroft reassembles all of the elements of Hatfield parish; a previous ward pattern. Lindholme village (a former prison estate) and Hatfield Woodhouse are linked by the A614, with no other natural affinities. At its north eastern corner Hatfield Woodhouse merges into Hatfield, which in turn is contiguous with Dunscroft. This proposed ward has a secondary school, health centre and library shared by all of these communities. The Doncaster-Scunthorpe railway line forms a strong and well established boundary line with wards to the north of Dunscroft and Hatfield. 7 7. Thorne Map reference: G Number of Councillors proposed: 2 Electorate forecast to 2019: 9,469 Electorate variance: 11.7% Whilst Thorne, a historic market town at the north eastern corner of Doncaster often relates more easily to areas of east Yorkshire such as Goole, it is a self- contained town with a strong and vibrant centre, shared services and schools. Whilst it is only part of the current parish area; Thorne is mentioned in the Domesday Book; dates back to AD700; retains the earthwork remains from its Norman castle; and boasts a 12th century church. The market town, has long associations with farming and, in the 20th century, coal mining and until recent decades boat building. In the present day, with supermarkets, health centre and library all in the town centre, Thorne is a self-sufficient town with a strong independent identity. Given its location, history and identity, we believe the interests of this community are best served with their own councillors, without the need to share representatives with any neighbouring villages or hamlets. Whilst the ward is slightly too big to be a perfect size for two members, we recognise that the strong town identify of Thorne and self- contained community, makes for the best and most efficient representation for this community. We would, therefore, advance Thorne as an exceptional but strong case for two member representation. 8 8. Sprotbrough & Barnburgh Map reference: H Number of Councillors proposed: 2 Electorate forecast to 2019: 8,612 Electorate variance: 1.6% The proposed ward includes the defined settlements of Sprotbrough, Barnburgh, Cadeby and High Melton. It includes majority of the Sprotbrough and Cusworth Parish Council area. These communities cover a number of rural and suburban areas, from Cusworth and Newton, through Sprotbrough Village, High Melton, Cadeby, and ending in the village of Barnburgh. Each settlement has a common origin as a historic village in the former Doncaster Rural District, but during the last century substantial suburban settlements have developed in Cusworth, Newton, and Barnburgh. The communities are served by communication networks that run from Barnsley Borough through to Doncaster Town Centre. They share facilities which include schools, GPs and a Community Run Library Service. While the proposed ward has a wider geographic spread than other wards the two members would be able to work with organisations such as the parish councils and meetings that well established in this part of the Borough.

  • Settlement Profiles

    Settlement Profiles

    Settlement Profiles Local Plan Evidence Base www.doncaster.gov.uk Doncaster Settlement Profiles 1.1. As part of the emerging Local Plan, a Settlement Audit was undertaken in 2014 to better understand the service provision across the borough, which in turn helped to determine the Local Plan Settlement Hierarchy. This process is dealt with at length in both the Settlement Audit and the Settlement Background Paper. 1.2. However, some consultation responses to the Settlement Audit and the Homes and Settlements consultation intimated that the Settlement Audit could be further expanded on and clarified. 1.3. As such, the following profiles have been developed which seeks to provide portraits of each defined settlement within the borough (the Main Urban Area; 7 Main Towns; 10 Service Towns and Villages; and 12 Defined Villages). 1.4. Each portrait will expand on the results of the Settlement Audit, and will provide ‘profiles’ for each settlement, dealing with social, economic and environmental matters, as per the Settlement Audit. 1.5. Occasionally, some scores or information published in the Settlement Audit Update (2017) have been amended. These amendments and the rationale are presented overleaf in Table A. 1.6. Information about the Settlement Hierarchy and allocations within each settlement are provided in the Settlement Background Paper and Site Selection Methodology. For convenience, a number of abridged settlement profiles have also been provided in the Settlement Housing Summaries. 1 Settlement Amendment Rationale Change to Scores?

In the western part of the buffer, the landscape character comprises land enclosed from commons and drained in 1825, with changes to the layout between 1851 and 1891 in association with the construction of a new warping system.
