The Act provides an opportunity for local communities to have direct input into the development of their local area by preparing a plan for a 20-year period. The Plan for the Parish of Auckley has been prepared by the Parish Council through a sub Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group comprising of Parish Councillors and members of the local community.

The draft plan is now available for local consideration and you may wish for additional information to be included within the Plan prior to it being submitted for approval by Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group for volunteering their time to work on the Neighbourhood Plan and getting the Plan to the stage we are at now.

At: Land At Former Blaxton Quarry Mosham Road Auckley Doncaster For: HTC Wolffkran Ltd Third Party Reps: 8 in opposition Parish: Auckley Parish Council Ward: Finningley Author of Report Mark Sewell SUMMARY The proposal is considered to be acceptable in policy terms given the planning history of the site and its policy allocation and is considered to be an acceptable and sustainable form of development in line with paragraph 7 and 8 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF, 2019). The report demonstrates that there are no material planning considerations that would significantly or demonstrably outweigh the social, economic or environmental benefits of the proposal. The development would not cause undue harm to neighbouring properties, the highway network or the wider character of the area. The unavoidable consequences of developing the site in terms of environmental impact will be mitigated. The scheme will deliver additional jobs for the Borough and is an allocated employment site in both the saved Unitary Development Plan proposals map and the Draft Local Plan. RECOMMENDATION: Grant planning permission subject to a Section 106 Agreement Mosham Road Proposed site entrance Gate House Lane 1.0 Reason for Report 1.1 This application is being presented to Planning Committee as a result of the level of public interest and number of representations received.

  • Volume 2 Number 4 February 2014
    The Doncaster Naturalist Volume 2 Number 4 February 2014 Doncaster Naturalists’ Society Editorial The Society continues to be a very active one, mainly due to the hard work of the President Louise Hill and of the Recorder/Programme Secretary Pip Seccombe. Without the support of the members though, any group will lose momentum and wither away. Sad- ly this has happened in other areas of Yorkshire, and two long- standing Naturalists Societies have disbanded in recent months (Cross Hills Naturalist Society, based at Keighley, and another in the Dales.) One of these had more members on its books than the DNS has now - though pleasingly our numbers appear to be rising. We cannot take the status quo as a permanent fixture. Louise has an increasing workload from her job and has indicated that she would like to stand down as President. It is important that the so- ciety can find a successor - the principle requirement is that of enthusiasm - it is not necessary to have all the same expertise. The Doncaster Naturalist Volume 2 Number 4 February 2014 The Auckley Common Hedgerow Survey Colin A. Howes Survey team: Derek Allen, Ian Farmer, Kayleigh Farmer, Elizabeth Farningham, Andrew Hill, Louise Hill, Sheila Hill, Colin Howes, Helen Kirk and Pip Seccombe. Introduction In 1997 the Clerk to Auckley Parish Council enquired if the Doncaster Naturalists’ Society could advise on the occurrence of any ‘ancient’ hedgerows in the parish. To visit all the hedgerows of the parish would be an enormous project but since the very rare Scarce Vapourer moth Orgyia recens was known to have previously occurred along Auckley Common, it was decided to undertake an initial field survey here.
