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?

Overall Sprotbrough Village has 4 services instead of 7, however this means the settlement still qualifies as a Service Town and Village. This makes no difference to the Main Urban Area as all services no longer in Sprotbrough are already available within this settlement. Table A: Amendments to Settlement Audit Information 2 Settlement: Main Urban Area Population: 123,648 Proposed Settlement Tier: Tier 1 (Main Urban Area) Settlement Summary: The Main Urban Area comprises of a number of distinct but contiguous settlements which surround central Doncaster (including the town centre itself). The settlements outer limit is largely defined by the limits of the Green Belt (in the western “half” of the borough), and the countryside (in the eastern “half”), which means settlements beyond the Main Urban Area are separated from this settlement and generally from each other by these designations. This is with the exception of the boundary between the settlement of Warmsworth in the Main Urban Area, and the Service Town and Villages settlement of Edlington, which are instead separated by an industrial estate. The Main Urban Area is made up of the following settlements: Balby, Belle Vue, Bennetthorpe, Bentley, Bessacarr, Cantley, Clay Lane, Cusworth, Edenthorpe, Hexthorpe, Hyde Park, Intake, Kirk Sandall, Lakeside, Lower Wheatley, Scawsby, Scawthorpe, Town Centre, Town Moor, Warmsworth, Wheatley Hills, Wheatley Park, Woodfield Plantation and York Road. The range of services available in these settlements individually varies from a high amount in places like Balby and Intake, to lower provision in areas such as Lakeside and York Road. However, given their proximity to each other and into Central Doncaster, and the ease of access between these central settlements, deficiencies and differences between the different settlements can be offset more easily than in smaller settlements. Services located in this settlement serve the whole borough and beyond. The settlement has the largest population and best service provision in the borough, with excellent access to the town centre and its amenities, as well as excellent public transport provisions and convenient access to the strategic road network. The A1(M) and the M18 roughly circumvent the western and southern extent of the Main Urban Area respectively, with the M18 also travelling to the east around parts of the settlement and neighbouring Armthorpe. Doncaster bus interchange and Doncaster railway station are centrally located and form the main transport hub for the borough. As well as trains to Sheffield, Meadowhall, Rotherham, Leeds and Hull amongst local destinations, the station is on the East Coast Mainline, meaning there is quick and convenient access to London, York, Newcastle and Edinburgh. 3 Constraints: Given its size, the settlement is constrained by various things in various places, including Green Belt to the western extent, flood risk areas, including around the River Don and to the north of the settlement in places such as Bentley and Wheatley. Settlement Audit Summary: The settlement Audit did not consider the settlement as one; instead it looked at the aforementioned settlements which make up the Main Urban Area individually. In summary, the findings for the whole settlement were as follows: Social The Main Urban Area (at the time of the Settlement Audit in 2014) included 33 primary schools and 7 secondary schools (Balby Carr; McAuley; Hall Cross; Hungerhill; Danum; Ridgewood & Don Valley). There are 19 GP practices, 20 dental surgeries and 36 pharmacies. Doncaster College and the National College for High Speed Rail are also located here. Additionally, there are 10 libraries and 3 leisure centres, including Doncaster Dome, in addition to numerous privately run gyms and fitness centres. Furthermore, many venues in the borough, such as the Cast Theatre, Doncaster Racecourse and the Keepmoat Stadium (home of Doncaster Rover FC), are also located within the Main Urban Area. The Main Urban Area has the sub-regional main shopping town centre, 10 Local centres and a number of neighbourhood shopping parades serving individual communities with their day to day shopping needs. Generally the Local centres serve their communities with supermarkets, doctors surgeries and a sufficient number of shops and services to warrant being a centre in their own right. Doncaster town centre is generally a healthy town centre performing in accordance with its role as an important sub-regional shopping destination. Notable shopping destinations include the Frenchgate Centre and the market place. However, improvement is required to tackle shop vacancy in some areas, to improve secondary retail areas, improve the range of cafes / restaurants and address footfall issues outside of Frenchgate. Economic The Main Urban Area is home of Doncaster Railway Station, which is the boroughs main railway station, with trains serving stops local, regional and national stations, including Sheffield, Rotherham, Leeds, Hull, London, York, Newcastle and Edinburgh amongst others. In addition to this, there are two local stops in the Main Urban Area – Kirk Sandall in the east and Bentley to the north. 4 Doncaster bus interchange is also located here, with regular local and regional services generally serving this stop, as well as national coach carriers. Environmental Each area that makes up the Main Urban Area has been assessed as part of the Green Spaces Audit. With the exception of Cantley, all areas are deficient in either one of formal or informal open space, with many settlements deficient in both. Overall, the Main Urban Area has a deficiency of -35ha in formal open space, and - 30ha in informal open space. Area Formal Informal Area Formal Informal Balby -10.36 -2.32 Kirk Sandall +3.82 -0.98 Belle Vue -1.75 +0.28 Lakeside -0.36 -0.18 Bennetthorpe +12.03 -1.24 Lower Wheatley +11.48 -3.85 Bentley -4.12 -2.46 Scawsby -6.41 -0.07 Bessacarr -19.83 -0.12 Scawthorpe -4.27 +0.25 Cantley +2.79 +0.16 Town Centre +0.03 -1.56 Clay Lane +1.22 -0.56 Town Moor -3.82 -1.91 Cusworth -3.00 +3.64 Warmsworth -0.21 -2.92 Edenthorpe +1.14 -2.73 Wheatley Hills -0.44 -1.49 Hexthorpe -1.63 -2.20 Wheatley Park -4.81 -2.68 Hyde Park -4.69 -1.13 Woodfield -3.40 -0.87 Plantation Intake +2.68 -4.52 York Road -1.08 -0.54 Notable open spaces include Town Fields (Formal), which is closely located in relation to the town centre. There is also the Lakeside development: amenity open space with pleasant waterside walks, adjacent to the Keepmoat Stadium and close to Doncaster Dome. Other Notable Features There are fourteen conservation areas within the Main Urban Area, including nine centrally located ones in and around the Town Centre. Relationship to Other Settlements The Main Urban Area constitutes the central built up area of Doncaster, and settlements within this area have excellent access to the boroughs other settlements, and to the rail and road network for regional and national links. The boroughs main roads, which lead out to the various surrounding settlements converge in the Main Urban Area, whilst the M18 and A1(M) largely circumvent the settlement, with numerous easily accessible access points.

There have been no new or significantly changed sources identified which are likely to give rise to further exceedences of any of the pollutants assessed under Local Air Quality Management. The air quality across most of the Borough remains within the objective levels and monitoring will continue where necessary. There are still significant road sources in the Borough and further investigations, where a Detailed Assessment will be conducted, are required for the areas of Skellow, close to the A1and Hickleton on the A635. Screening has yet to be completed for a new biomass installation and the results will be reported in 2013 either in the Progress Report or directly in a Detailed Assessment should screening indicate this is necessary.

  • Planned Industrial Settlements
    South Yorkshire Historic Environment Characterisation Project Barnsley Character Zone Descriptions Planned Industrial Settlements Summary of Dominant Character As the coal seams are near to the surface in the west of the district they could be utilised from an early date and documentary evidence puts coal mining here back as far as the medieval period. These mines left few traces on the landscape and many did not survive long enough to be marked on the 1850s Ordnance Survey maps. This small-scale style of mining continued into the early 19 th century, but by the mid 19 th century advances in the technologies of transport, ventilation and pumping were beginning to make the exploitation of the deeper seams further east a reality (Hill 2001, 16). This led to a vast increase in mining in the district. Existing coal mines in the area were expanded and new shafts sunk, producing increasing demands for workers. The provision of the initial houses for the workers at collieries in Barnsley was generally the responsibility of single landlords; planned settlements are larger and later examples of such guided development. The dominant characteristics of this zone largely relate to character areas that developed rapidly prior to 1939, to accommodate miners working on the exposed coal field in central and eastern Barnsley. Also included are the estates built for the workforce at the Iron and Steel works in Penistone and the development of ‘Stairfoot Planned Housing’ and ‘Planned Wombwell’, which were substantially influenced by the nearby glassworks. Some of the settlements within this zone, such as ‘Staincross Common’ and ‘Bolton Upon Dearne Miners Housing’, have only a limited amount of pre- Second World War housing and saw their main expansion between 1960 and 1980.
