The Church Commissioners for England is partnering with house builder Duchy Homes to deliver up to 46 new high-quality homes on a 3.7-hectare site in Darton near Barnsley, South Yorkshire.
The Church Commissioners received planning permission for the development in 2021. The scheme will offer a combination of two- and five-bedroom homes, 20% of which will be affordable, in line with Barnsley’s local plan.
Joanna Loxton, head of strategic land investment at the Church Commissioners for England, said: “With a proven track record of delivering high quality sites in the region, Duchy Homes is extremely well placed to take forward our plans for our new Darton development. The site will fulfil Barnsley’s vision for new homes in the area while taking care to maintain its unique environmental landscape, including through the preservation of species-rich grassland.”
