Plans for a new housing development on surplus public land in South Yorkshire have been given the green light by Doncaster Borough Council this week.

The Council approved the first phase of a £22.6m housing development at Carr Lodge in Doncaster, which is part of an accelerated land delivery programme.

The Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) has just appointed housing and regeneration specialist, Keepmoat as developer in the first phase of the project and work is expected to start on site this week.


Phase one of the scheme will see the construction of 329 new homes, 172 of which will be developed by Keepmoat, with a further 132 larger homes and 25 Custom Build plots also delivered in partnership with Strata Homes, another Doncaster based company. The joint development name for the scheme will be known as 'Dominium'.

The development will consist of a total of 1,500 mixed tenure homes, all of which will be designed to the Government’s Code for Sustainable Homes level 3, as well as being designed to be 'Lifetime Homes'.
