PLANS to build two new detached properties in Carlton have been rejected by Barnsley Council’s planning board.

An application was originally submitted in February for the houses to be built on Carlton Road.

The application subsequently went to public consultation, with a number of residents voicing their concerns.

The plans were refused by Barnsley Council last week.

A report said: “Whilst there are no outstanding objections from consultees, the development is not considered to be appropriate in terms of its design, appearance and the impact upon existing residential amenity.

“The scale, appearance and massing of the proposed dwellings is not reflective of the local character and fails to consider the surrounding building traditions.

“The proposed dwellings are substantially larger than the neighbouring properties and would not follow the established building line, making them appear alien when viewed within the context of the street scene.”

PLANS to build an agricultural livestock building in Hood Green have been approved by the council. An application was submitted in February last year for the unit to be built on Manor Farm, Stainborough Lane. These plans were given the green light by Barnsley Council’s planning board last week.

A CONSERVATORY and garage will be demolished to make way for an extension to a Smithies property. An application was submitted in April for the work to take place on St Helen’s Avenue.

The plans were given the green light last week.

PLANNING permission is being sought to install 56 solar panels onto the roof of a Royston school. If approved, the work will take place at Meadstead Academy, on Meadstead Drive. A total of 22 neighbouring properties have been made aware of the plans with no appeals to date. Public consultation ends on July 5.

PLANS to reinstall an eight-metre-high McDonald’s sign at Stairfoot have been submitted to the council. If approved, the sign will be built at the restaurant on Wombwell Lane. Public consultation ends on July 3.

PLANS to refurbish parts of a Tankersley building have been submitted to Barnsley Council. If approved, work will take place at the Computer Centre, on Maple Road. A total of 24 neighbouring properties have been made aware of the application with no appeals to date. Public consultation ends on July 4.

PLANS to build a new bungalow in Cudworth have been approved by the council. An application was originally submitted in April 2023 for the work to take place on White Cross Avenue. The plans were given the green light by Barnsley Council’s planning board last week.

PLANNING permission is being sought to erect an outbuilding to the rear of a Hoyland Common property. If approved, the work will take place on Stead Lane. A total of four neighbouring properties have been made aware of the plans with no appeals to date. Public consultation ends on July 9.
