PLANS have been announced to build 20 new homes and redevelop historic farm buildings on a site close to Penistone Grammar School.

If proposals are approved, four two-bedroom houses, seven three-bedroom houses and nine houses with four-plus bedrooms could be built at Nether Mill Farm, off Barnsley Road.

The project would also include the part demolition of Nether Mill House, a grade II listed property, and the conversion of a listed barn.

Details included in the application state the part of the house to be demolished was constructed in the 1970s, which the applicants describe as a 'badly-built rear extension that detracts from the listed building'.

Comments on the proposal can be made until Tuesday July 2.
