Land off Royston Lane, Royston, Barnsley
On behalf of Keepmoat Homes, Johnson Mowat is preparing to submit an outline planning application to Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council (BMBC) for residential development on land off Royston Lane, Royston, Barnsley (“the site”).
The site extends to approximately 5.6 hectares and comprises a single parcel of agricultural land. The settlement limits of Royston run along the site's northern and western boundaries. The Barnsley Canal lies along the site's eastern boundary. To the east of the canal and to the south of the site is open countryside.
The proposed development will deliver much-needed family homes in a range of sizes and styles, including affordable housing in accordance with local and national planning policy. The scheme has been shaped by a landscape-led approach, with areas to the south of the site designated for Biodiversity Net Gain. These areas will enhance existing boundary features and introduce new habitats and planting. Within the site, the proposals continue this approach by retaining significant existing boundary features and incorporating additional landscaping and ecological enhancements throughout. Sustainable drainage features will also be included. A network of functional open space is proposed, including a Neighbourhood Equipped Area for Play (NEAP) and locally accessible play spaces (LAPs), which will be accessible to both new and existing residents.
A consultation leaflet has been hand delivered to neighbouring residents informing them of the proposal for this site.
If you would like to submit your comments regarding this proposed residential scheme please use the form on the right hand side of this webpage or alternatively you can email consultation@johnsonmowat.co.uk.
Following this consultation, the Development Team will review and consider all comments received prior to the submission of a formal application to Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council.
It is requested that any comments are returned by 5th October 2026.
Please note that due to the extent of public consultations undertaken, we are not always able to enter into individual dialogue.
