Options/Proposals
1. Maintain and
increase
Doncaster’s
growth and
prosperity and
diversify its
economic base
A) Local
economy
(maintain
and
strengthen
)
• Create jobs and new
businesses
• Support existing businesses
• Provide employment
opportunities for everyone
• Increase wealth
• Attract investment and trade
• Close the ‘output gap’
• Improve financial security
• Provide a supply of available
land for all business needs
• Promote tourism
• Support home working/ e-
commerce
• Improve quality of life
i. Loss of existing
employment use:
++ Not used
+ Not used
0 Housing proposal on
land not in existing
employment use
- Housing proposal on
land in existing
employment use
- - Not used
It is not considered that
this criteria is influenced
by the location of
development sites per se,
so the effects on all site
options will be similar in
SA terms – scope out from
appraisal
Housing site options – HELAA
identifies whether sites are
GF/BF. Assume all GF sites are
not in existing employment so
filter these out. BF sites will then
be assessed against known uses
via classifications in the ‘Basic
Land & Property Units’ (BLPU)
data or UDP designations. BLPU
is the classification given to each
address point. Cleared/vacant
employment sites considered as
being not in employment use.
Test assumes site areas with over
50% of land in employment use
as scoring negatively (-).
Yes Maintain & strengthen economic growth: There is often pressure for housing proposals on land in current
active employment use. Although such sites may provide short-term employment opportunities, through the
construction industry for example, the loss of the existing employment use to other land uses will be permanent.
All potential employment sites will, by their nature, contribute significant positive effects against this SA objective.
B) Diversify
the
economic
base
• Provide a skilled workforce.
• Broaden sectoral mix
• Less reliance on current high
volume sectors
• More workers in ‘higher value’
sectors
• Promote rural diversification
It is not considered that
this criteria is influenced
by the location of
development sites per
se, so the effects on all
site options will be
similar in SA terms –
scope out from appraisal

2. Reinforce and
support
community
identity and
pride
A) Support
community
identity
• Maintain and protect the
physical identity and setting
of existing settlements
• Conserve and protect existing
services and facilities
(especially in more remote
areas)
• Deliver affordable homes
• Promote greater community
cohesion
• Don’t make everywhere the
same

n/a n/a Support community identity: This is most relevant to the Development Management stage. All sites have the
opportunity, through good design, layout etc to promote community cohesion and maintain/promote distinctive
settlements and communities.
B) Pride • Get people involved in local
issues.
• Foster positive perceptions of
the area
• Make people proud of their own
community and Doncaster
It is not considered that
this criteria is influenced

Housing & employment site
options – The Council has train
stations mapped as points in GIS
and has been given access to
SYPTE’s high frequency bus
network (actual bus stops shown
in GIS) from which sites have
been assessed using straight line
as the crow flies distances using
the closest site boundary.
Housing & employment site
options - The Doncaster Cycle
Map (6th Edition) was published
in 2013 and is available to view
on the Council’s website via the
following web-link:
http://www.doncaster.gov.uk/ser
vices/transport-streets-
parking/cycling It is proposed
that the following cycle networks
will be used: Traffic-free paths,
sign posted cycle routes,
advisory routes, cycle lanes, and
bus and cycle lanes in order to
identify what we class as being
the cycle network for SA
purposes. Test assumes site
scores positive (+) if any part of
the site is within the 100m
buffer.
Yes
Yes
Yes
Public transport accessibility: Public transport accessibility to sites is an integral contributor and opportunity to
reduce the individuals need to use the private car for their everyday journeys (to the shop, to work etc.). By
ensuring that people have access to sustainable forms of transport, it can therefore have a significant impact on
reducing congestion, improve local air quality and increase public transport patronage. By locating sites near the
public transport network, this will help influence sustainable travel behaviour by providing residents with an
opportunity to use public transport as a realistic mode of transport. SYPTE welcomes development sites that are
located on the existing public transport network as this makes efficient use of current resources. By allocating
sites in these locations, a proactive approach to sustainable travel behaviour is being applied as public transport
options are available to the site before development of the site has begun.
Access to Cycle Network: Every route on the Doncaster Cycle Map has been cycled and evaluated and many of
the advisory routes have been suggested by local cyclists. The Map covers the whole of the borough and also
offers a means of interaction with cycle networks covered by adjacent Local Authorities.

Access to all services - for the purposes of all of the accessibility to services criteria, the Institution of Highways
& Transportation guidance Providing for Journeys on Foot (2000) has been used as a proxy for identifying the
distance buffers – generally using the ‘acceptable’ and ‘preferred maximum’ thresholds. Extract from the
guidance as per the table below, but available to view/ download in full via:
www.ciht.org.uk/download.cfm/docid/D66AD936-281C-4220-BF109289B5D01848
The tests score sites based on the closest boundary of the site and its proximity to the respective service being
tested. Distances have been established using GIS buffers and are ‘as the crow flies’ so may not reflect barriers
and actual walking routes on the ground.
Access to primary & secondary schools - Secondary schools have been afforded a larger distance buffer
compared to primary schools to
reflect the wider catchments normal
for a secondary school. Specialist
schools have been removed from
the assessment as they offer a
borough-wide catchment.

4. Ensure
resources are
available and
efficiently used
to sustain
development
and reduce
waste and
consumption
A) Energy
resources
• Reduce the reliance on, and
the consumption of, finite
fossil fuels
• Reduce greenhouse gas
emissions
• Reduce energy use and
encourage the production
and use of renewable energy
It is not considered that
this criteria is influenced
by the location of
development sites per
se, so the effects on all
site options will be
similar in SA terms –
scope out from
appraisal.
It is not considered that
this criteria is influenced
by the location of
development sites per se,
so the effects on all site
options will be similar in
SA terms – scope out from
appraisal.
n/a n/a Energy resources: All new development potentially increases use of energy resources. However, some sites may
provide renewable energy technologies, and all development is required to meet certain levels and standards set
by Building Regulations meaning it is not possible at plan-making stage to assess one development site over
another. This will be more relevant to the Development Management stage once actual details are known.
B) Minerals
and
constructio
n
• Reduce primary mineral
extraction
• Increase the use of recycled and
reclaimed aggregates
• Incorporate sustainable design
and construction practices
It is not considered that
this criteria is influenced
by the location of
development sites per
se, so the effects on all
site options will be
similar in SA terms –
scope out from
appraisal.
It is not considered that
this criteria is influenced

development sites per se,
so the effects on all site
options will be similar in

n/a n/a Minerals & construction: All new development will be expected to incorporate sustainable design and
construction practices and comply with minimum requirements as set by Building Regulations meaning it is not
possible at plan-making stage to assess one development site over another. This will be more relevant to the
Development Management stage once actual details are known.
C) Efficient
use of
waste
• Encourage reuse/recycling and
minimise waste
It is not considered that
this criteria is influenced
by the location of
development sites per
se, so the effects on all
site options will be
similar in SA terms –
scope out from
appraisal.
It is not considered that
this criteria is influenced
by the location of
development sites per se,
so the effects on all site
options will be similar in
SA terms – scope out from

n/a n/a Efficient use of waste: All new development has the opportunity to provide recycling facilities as part of the
proposal to encourage recycling and minimise waste. Although it is noted that larger developments may provide
the critical mass to make waste collection more efficient for the local authority, it is not considered appropriate to
assess at plan-making stage. Every new dwelling will have standard local authority waste and recycling services
meaning the effects across all developments will be similar.
5. Provide
affordable, good
quality housing
that is available
to everyone,
including
vulnerable and
disadvantaged
groups
A)
Affordabilit
y
• Provide housing (including
affordable housing) that is
available to everyone to address
future needs
i. Affordability:
++ Site is being
proposed for 15+ units
capacity and likely to
trigger affordable
housing contribution
(100 units +)
+ Site is being
proposed for 15+ units
capacity and likely to
trigger affordable
housing contribution (up
to 100 units)
0 Site is being proposed
for 14 or less units
capacity and unlikely to
trigger affordable
housing contribution
- Not used
- - Not used
SA objective not relevant
to employment site
options – scope out from
appraisal
Housing site options - All sites
have a capacity assigned to
them as part of the HELAA stage
meaning the 15+ units threshold
can be established and applied
using this data.
No Affordability: Current planning policy requires sites with proposals for 15 units or more to provide affordable
housing contributions, either on-site or commuted sum in lieu of on-site provision. It is acknowledged that it is
however also possible for a site of 14 or less units to deliver affordable housing (as a rural exceptions site for
example) but it is not proposed to factor this into the appraisal.

SA objective not relevant
to employment site
options – scope out from
appraisal
n/a n/a Quality: All new developments should promote and encourage good quality design and deliver sustainable
development. At plan-making stage it is not considered appropriate to assess one site against another as the
effects are likely to be similar. The criteria is more relevant to the Development Management stage when detailed
proposals are known.
C) Mix and
range of
homes
• Ensure an appropriate mix of
housing, tenures and types
It is not considered that
this criteria is influenced
by the location of
development sites per
se, so the effects on all
site options will be
similar in SA terms –
scope out of appraisal
SA objective not relevant
to employment site
options – scope out from
appraisal
n/a n/a Mix & range of homes: All new housing developments should provide for an appropriate mx of house types
and tenures. Although a larger site provides more scope than a smaller site for a range of houses, smaller sites
cumulatively potentially provide greater scope for mix so not appropriate to assess site by site therefore as the
effects are likely to be similar. Such detail will not be known until the Development Management stage. A Local
Plan that provides for a variety of development allocations will most likely attract the full range of house builders
e.g. smaller sites will be attractive to the smaller/independent developers, and larger sites will appeal to the
volume house builders.
D)
Availability
• Increase the supply of housing
• Address areas of housing
market failure
Housing supply: All
potential housing site
options, if supported to
allocation, would be
expected to increase the
supply of housing so the
effects will be similar –
scope out of appraisal.
i. Market Failure:
++ Previous housing
site cleared to provide
for replacement housing
(100 units+)
+ Previous housing site
cleared to provide for
replacement housing (up
to 100 units)
0 Not a formerly
cleared housing site
- Not used
- - Not used
SA objective not relevant
to employment site
options – scope out from
appraisal
Housing site options –
colleagues in the Council’s Major
Projects’ Team can provide
information on schemes they are
bringing forward on former
housing sites that have been
cleared as part of recognised
programmes.
No Housing supply: All new housing developments should increase the supply of housing by their very nature. A
Local Plan that provides for a variety of development allocations will most likely attract the full range of house
builders e.g. smaller sites will be attractive to the smaller/independent developers, and larger sites will appeal to
the volume house builders.
Market failure: Doncaster’s housing market is relatively active, but there are areas where market weakness exists.
Many of these areas contain low cost housing and can be a target for landlords to purchase low value stock.
Much of the west of Doncaster was subject to Housing Market Renewal Pathfinder regeneration. Weaknesses in
the housing market in these areas resulted in the demolition of large sites of poor housing and many of these
sites have yet to be developed resulting in anti-social behaviour. However, there is a long-term expectation that
these will be delivered and plans are in place to redevelop them.
6. Reduce social
exclusion and
disadvantage
A) Social
exclusio
n
• Minimise disadvantage or
discrimination
• Ensure that as many people as
possible have good access to
shops and service
Although it is possible to
derive an objective test
based on the indices of
multiple deprivation
‘scores’, it is considered
this is more relevant to
the spatial strategy
rather than individual
site selection - scope out
of the appraisal.
Although it is possible to

multiple deprivation
‘scores’, it is considered

spatial strategy rather than
individual site selection -
scope out of the appraisal.
n/a n/a Deprivation: Doncaster is the 39th most deprived borough out of 326 Local Authority areas in England and is the
3rd most deprived out of the 21 Local Authority areas in the Yorkshire & Humber region. It is the most deprived
area in South Yorkshire and the Sheffield City Region. Development within these most deprived areas will help
provide new housing stock and tenures in the area, support existing services and facilities, as well as provide
potential new employment opportunities and infrastructure which will help towards reducing social exclusion and
disadvantage, and reduce the gap between affluent and deprived areas.
B) Social
disadvan
tage
• Reduce concentrations of socio-
economic disadvantage
• Reduce the gap between
affluent and deprived areas

that are safe,
attractive,
culturally
interesting and
distinctive to
live, work and
travel in
A)
Attractive
and
distinctive
places
• Deliver a high quality built
environment
• Promote local distinctiveness
• Provide more green spaces and
trees
• Maintain and improve the
character and setting of the
townscape and landscape
It is not considered that
this criteria is influenced
by the location of
development sites per

n/a n/a Attractive & distinctive places: This is most relevant to the Development Management stage. All sites have the
opportunity, through good design, to ensure attractive and distinctive places and communities are maintained/
created, including provision of new green spaces and trees through either on-site provision, or commuted sums
in-lieu of on-site provision towards existing green spaces etc.
B) Safety
and
security
• Promote buildings and
developments which are ‘secure
by design’
• Address anti-social behaviour
• Maximise the security of homes
and workplaces
• Reduce crime
• Reduce fear of crime
• Minimise risk to health and
safety
i. Minimise risk to
health & safety:
++ Not used

Housing & employment site
options – The Health & Safety
Executive (HSE) provides a map
for Development Management
purposes which shows the
location of constraints such high
pressure pipelines and major
hazard sites. It also sets out a
number of consultation zones
(buffers) around the constraint.
Test scores negative (-) if any
part of the site is within HSE
consultation zone.
Yes Safety & security: some of these criteria are most relevant to the Development Management stage. All sites
have the opportunity, through good design, choice of materials, layout and orientation etc, to provide
developments that are well designed and ‘secure by design’, whilst natural surveillance will help address anti-
social behaviour thus helping to reduce both perceptions and incidents of crime.

8. Renew and
reuse existing
buildings, land
and
infrastructure
A) Land
and
buildings
• Encourage the re-use of
brownfield land, vacant sites
and existing buildings
• Avoid the unnecessary use of
greenfield sites
• Support renewal of old and/or
poor areas of housing
• Protect and enhance the
amenity of the area

Housing & employment site
options – HELAA identifies the
BF/GF status of all site options in
order to apply this criteria.
Housing & employment site
options – The Council (Pollution
Control) holds data on
contaminated land and it is

Encourage the re-use of land and buildings: redeveloping brownfield land, including conversion of existing
buildings, provides the opportunity for efficient and effective use of land which is a relatively scarce asset, as well
as providing opportunity to use existing infrastructure availability/capacity first and foremost before new
infrastructure being necessary. Brownfield sites will also support renewal of existing housing areas.
Contaminated land - The late 18th century to the 20th century saw Doncaster emerge as an important industrial
center. Processes such as mining, waste disposal and manufacturing have left contamination such as heavy
metals, fuels, mining wastes in or on the land. This has left Doncaster with a legacy of potentially contaminated
land. The Contaminated Land Regime, which forms Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act, defines
contaminated land as: “any land, which appears to the local authority in whose area it is situated, to be in such a
condition. By reason of substances either in, on or under the land, that: 1) significant harm is being caused or
there is the significant possibility of such harm being caused; or, 2) pollution of controlled waters is being, or is
likely to be, caused
Landfill Sites - Landfill sites have previously been used for the disposal of domestic and industrial waste.
These former landfill sites may have been quarries or natural low laying land. After closure the site may have had
gas control measures installed, be ‘capped’ - sealed with layers of clay and top soil - and planted to restore it to
as close as possible to its natural appearance. Bacteria in the buried waste cause it to decompose, producing
landfill gas containing methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2). This process can last for more than 50
years. Methane has to be carefully disposed of as it is potentially flammable or explosive and is a potent
greenhouse gas. Pollution Control currently manages six closed sites and landfill gas is actively controlled at
three of these. Until a closed landfill is “risk assessed” it is impossible to determine the level of gas migration,
thus what remedial measures/ constraints are required, if any, to ensure it does not pose any unacceptable risk to
future site users. The risk assessment may identify development constraints, e.g. buildings precluded in an area,
or may require remediation measures, e.g. gas protection membranes. The risk assessment may determine the
risk from gas migration is minimal so no remediation/ constraints are required.
Unstable Land – The Coal Authority has mapped areas known as ‘Development High Risk Areas’ and is the part
of the coal mining reporting area which contains one or more recorded coal mining related features which have
the potential for instability or a degree of risk to the surface from the legacy of coal mining operations. The
combination of features included in this composite area includes mine entries; shallow coal workings (recorded
and probable); recorded coal mining related hazards; recorded mine gas sites; fissures and breaklines and
previous surface mining sites. New development in this defined area needs to demonstrate that the development
will be safe and stable taking full account of former coal mining activities. This area was formally known as the
Development Referral Area. Further information is available via:

Highways capacity: as part of the HELAA process (and subsequent correspondence), Highways England have
assessed all site options impact on the strategic road network using their Network Analysis Tool (NAT) and have
highlighted sites of most concern, including site specific comments and where mitigation will be required. HE
identified a number of small sites and concluded that they would have no significant impact on the SRN and so
these sites were not assessed using the NAT. These have been identified as + in line with the methodology
Likewise, sites that were assessed using NAT and do not generate 30 or more one-way trips on one or more links
on the network were concluded as having no significant impact and score +. Where there are more than 30 one-
way trips on one or more links on the SRN, the number of the primary strategic road network junction that is
affected is recorded. There are sites that generate substantial numbers of trips that are close to junctions on the
SRN even if they do not have a significant traffic impact on the SRN (30 or more one-way trips on one or more
links on the network). This is because development traffic may pass through the junction and worsen traffic
conditions on the gyratory with the possibility of causing queuing problems on slip roads. This has been
identified by judgment based on the size and location of the site, NAT output for the site, knowledge of the
network and the opportunities for traffic to cross the motorway using the junction.
Fibre broadband coverage: The ongoing commercial roll-out of fibre broadband funded by BT and Virgin
Media is currently expected to reach around 80% of premises across South Yorkshire. The remaining coverage
will be derived from the Superfast South Yorkshire project; a partnership between the South Yorkshire authorities
of Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield and BT, to specifically address and intervene in areas (primarily
rural premises across South Yorkshire) that are not commercially viable for providers to service without subsidy.
Within this current roll-out it is hoped to reach well over 100,000 premises with a fibre service by the end of 2018.
There are however a number of areas ‘under review’ where solutions are still to be identified. This is because:
there is currently no technical solution; the cost is prohibitively high to meet value for money; or, funding is not
yet available.
School capacity: It is generally accepted that the retention of a 5% level of surplus places is necessary in an area
to be able to facilitate parental preference and mid-year admissions, for flexibility in timetable planning and for
contingency planning. The Audit Commission document ‘Trading Places’ (2002 update) and School Places
Diagnostic Tool (2010) support this. The Red-Amber-Green ratings were applied using the following guide:
- Over Subscribed- Schools with 5% or less
surplus
0
Close to capacity/ maybe full in some
parts of the Pyramid - Schools with 5%-
10% surplus places
+ No Major concerns - Schools with 10% or
more surplus places

n/a n/a Skills & training: Doncaster has a relatively poor skills profile compared to other parts of the region. Skills and
training is a key issue for diversifying the economy and closing the economic gap. Location of development sites
will not directly be a factor affecting skills and training as it will depend on the type of business locating on a site.
Rather improvement to skills and training will be tackled by a range of other corporate and city region strategies
although policies for commercial development could look to secure training and skills development plans.

Main River Flooding - Flood Risk Map for Planning: This map shows risk of flooding from main rivers without
consideration of protection from flood defences given there is always the possibility that they may fail/overtop.
The EA publish quarterly updates to this map. Although there are often no changes quarter to quarter, there have
been some instances where the map has changed in the borough over the past few years. The SFRA used the EA
Flood Map for Planning as at February 2015. However, there was a significant update to the EA Flood Map in
November 2015 at the same time that the Council published the Level 1 SFRA. There were significant changes to
the Flood Map at Thorne-Moorends. In order to ensure sites have been assessed against the latest flood risk
information the Council has replicated the SFRA through using GIS and updated the information on these sites
accordingly.
Surface Water Flooding: Surface water flooding is prevalent across the borough though judging from the
updated Flood Map for Surface Water (uFMfSW), risk is greatest in the northern, eastern and central areas where
the terrain is flatter and surface water can accumulate. However, there are certain locations where the probability
and consequence of these mechanisms are more prominent due to the complex hydraulic interactions in the
urban environment. Urban watercourse connectivity, sewer capacity, and the location and condition of highway
gullies all have a major role to play in surface water flood risk. The Level 1 SFRA assesses surface water risk to
each site according to the uFMfSW. The site assessment spreadsheet isolates each of the surface water outlines
so that any area of a site within the higher risk 1 in 30 year outline is excluded from the medium risk 1 in 100 year
outline and any area within the 1 in 100 year outline is excluded from the lower risk 1 in 1000 year outline. This
assessment of surface water risk to sites DOES NOT take account of local circumstances, only that part of a site
area falls within a surface water flood outline of the updated Flood Map for Surface Water.
Areas Benefiting from Flood Defences - EA map that identifies the areas that benefit from flood defences
shown, in the event of a river flood with a 1 per cent (1 in 100) chance of happening each year, or a flood from
the sea with a 0.5 per cent (1 in 200) chance of happening each year. If the defences were not there, these areas
would be flooded. Note, the EA caveat that this data may not show all defences.
Environment Agency (EA) Flood Warning or Alert Areas - The EA provide a free flood warning service for
many areas at risk of flooding from rivers and the sea. In some parts of England they can also tell property
owners when flooding from groundwater is possible. This free flood warning service can give advance notice of
flooding and can give property owners time to prepare.

Biodiversity: It is difficult to know whether a particular site allocation will ‘improve’ or ‘not improve’ a local
national or international site without knowing the details of the proposal and a site could be accompanied by a
suite of mitigation measures or detailed design choices that make an otherwise unacceptable development
acceptable. However, this criteria screens sites against a well-established hierarchy of nature conservation
designations and will help to identify where the most likely impacts from any potential development site option
will be. It is possible that some of the effects may be so significantly adverse that they are not capable of being
mitigated regardless of the detail of the proposal though. This methodology/approach has been advocated by
Natural England as a preferred way of assessing local plan site options (as per the Consultation response to the
November 2015 Draft Site Selection Methodology consultation)

Yes Landscape capacity: A Landscape Character and Capacity Assessment of Doncaster was carried out by ECUS Ltd
in 2006/2007 (March 2007). This study identifies and describes eight landscape character types in Doncaster. The
study assesses the overall landscape capacity of landscape character areas to accommodate different types of
development including housing and strategic employment. There are no broad areas of ‘high landscape capacity’
identified in the borough. In terms of employment sites, the study only looked at capacity to absorb strategic
distribution sites (B8 uses) so it is not possible to assess other employment sites except for those within urban
areas; the criteria reflects this. The study also identifies the capacity of some settlement edges, but this is not a
comprehensive assessment for all settlement edges across the borough, and not all sites will be located adjacent
to settlement edges anyway, so it is not proposed to take account of this information for this SA objective. A
further landscape study was published by Golders Associates (June 2010), but again did not look at complete
coverage for the whole borough, just certain areas. As such, it does not provide a complete assessment on which
to base comparatives for every site option on, so it is not proposed to use for the purposes of this SA.

Heritage impacts: It is difficult to provide a measurable objective test for impact on a heritage asset as it
depends on the ‘significance’ of the heritage asset which is qualitative and this can vary even between similar
heritage assets. It is further complicated by the fact that such an assessment ideally requires a level of detail and
knowledge of a proposed development scheme rarely known at site allocation stage, except for sites that have
already advanced through the planning process. The only assessment that can be made therefore is by a
qualitative assessment by a professional Conservation Officer in line with the best practice Historic England
guidance (Octob2015) available to view via: https://historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/historic-
environment-and-site-allocations-in-local-plans/

Archaeology: Existing cultural heritage assets and historic environment character data were assessed for each
site and its 250m buffer zone, in order to allow an assessment to be made of the archaeological potential and
significance of the sites and their suitability for development. Any major constraints such as the presence of
statutorily designated archaeological sites, significant non-designated archaeological sites and important historic
landscapes were also identified. Given a significant number of planning permissions are identified through the
latest annual monitoring report and being considered for allocation, having further site assessed in full for
archaeology it is not considered to be justifiable or a reasonably use of resources when extant permissions are in
place, many of which will have addressed archaeology as part of the Development Management stage.

Minerals Sterilisation: Economic prosperity and growth depends on an adequate and steady supply of minerals.
In Doncaster these predominately include aggregate limestone, sand and gravel (particularly sharp sand and
gravel which is used in construction to make concreting products). The evidence base indicates that sharp sand
and gravel is in short supply and extraction rates are below the national average. Coal deposits underlie much of
the borough (shallow coal to the west and deep coal to the east). Surface development proposals could impact
on aggregate minerals and shallow coal, but not deep coal. The data does not break down the sand and gravel
so the SA criteria reflects this uncertainty through assigning a ‘?’ as the effects are unknown/uncertain.
Agricultural Land Classification: The Provisional Agricultural Land Classification data that covers the whole of
England was done from 1967 to 1974. This dataset therefore provides a comprehensive assessment for the whole
of the borough on which to base an objective sustainability criteria test. The use of the provisional agricultural
land classification is considered sufficient for assessment of all sites across the borough. However, it is
acknowledged that selected areas were resurveyed in greater detail and to revised guidelines and criteria which
includes some areas of the borough, but this is not a complete survey on which to assess sites equally. Grades 1,
2 & 3a are classified as ‘best and most versatile agricultural land and have higher protection therefore compared
to other grades. There is no grade 1 agricultural land in the borough. Grades 4 and 5 are classed as poor and very
poor respectively. The agricultural land classification does not distinguish between grades 3a & 3b without
undertaking on site survey. Grade 3b is not best or most versatile agricultural land. Any site options that are
identified on grade 3 therefore will be assessed as ‘?’ (the effects are unknown/uncertain) due to the data
limitations. It is noted that some landowners/developers may provide on-site survey assessment to confirm grade
3 breakdown and the appraisal allows for such evidence to be reflected (0 or -).

Groundwater Source Protection – Groundwater provides a third of our drinking water in England and Wales,
and it also maintains the flow in many of our rivers. It is crucial that we look after these sources and ensure that
our water is completely safe to drink. The Environment Agency have defined Source Protection Zones (SPZs) for
2000 groundwater sources such as wells, boreholes and springs used for public drinking water supply. These
zones show the risk of contamination from any activities that might cause pollution in the area. The closer the
activity, the greater the risk. The maps show three main zones (inner, outer and total catchment) to a
groundwater source.
Pollution to Surface Water Bodies – development and construction sites can impact on adjacent water bodies
through run-off of contaminants and other sediment pollution into our waterways either disturbed or necessary
as part of the construction process. Potential pollutants could include: silt, cement and concrete, chemicals and
solvents, herbicides, or waste materials. These pollutants can impact on the quality of the water environment and
have a negative effect on wildlife and the wider water quality. Development sites close to the detailed river
network are more likely to cause this harm therefore through their proximity, although it is noted that a number
of good construction practices may limit and mitigate such occurrences e.g. collection of site wastewater and
choice/storage arrangements of construction materials/chemicals etc. The above, and 10m distance buffer,
reflects guidance from the Environment Agency’s Pollution Prevention Guidance Note:

Yes Air quality - The Doncaster air quality review and assessment of air quality in the borough confirms that the air
quality objectives are expected to be achieved in all but 7 areas of the borough, including parts of the town
centre and motorway corridors. The borough has 7 Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) where levels of road
traffic and congestion is the source of air pollution, alongside some other contributing factors such as
commercial and domestic properties. Any proposed land use site options within, or in close proximity to, these
AQMAs will potentially exacerbate the air quality situation further through increased traffic and vehicle emissions.
It is noted however that air quality can and shall be mitigated by air quality neutral development. Additionally
there may be areas that are not AQMAs but have poor air quality and introducing people to those areas could be
detrimental. It is important to recognise Defra’s modelled areas of exceedance which have been mapped and are
available to use. Development in these areas should be treated with the same level of consideration, as per the
NPPF. Many developments will need to mitigate for air quality based on detailed criteria that will not be available
until plans come forward through the Development Management stage.

Minor negative impact - Bentley Mill located immediately east of the Mill Farm site is described as grade 2 listed although this building is believed to have been demolished prior to the confirmation of listing in 1986. There is no evidence on site of the mill as described in the listing. Bentley Mill Farm has a number of vernacular agricultural buildings primarily to the east of the site of varying quality and condition which do not have any formal heritage designation. There are a number of historic limestone boundary walls within the site and on the boundary. These are a reminder of the previous historic character of the area and have may local heritage interest. The grade 2 listed St Peters Church is approximately 190m west of the site separated from it by an irregular field which is itself bounded by hedges and trees. The grade 2 listed Bentley Pinfold is 160m north west of the site and separated by dense housing development so this heritage asset is not affected.

Site Size (ha) & Potential Capacity:
2.28Ha / 80 units
Brownfield/ Greenfield: Brownfield
Site Description: The site is brownfield and circa 2.28 hectares in size and is the Cementation Skanska works site, a specialist piling and ground engineering company that has been operating from this site for a vast number of years and is therefore well established. The site is capable of accommodating 80 dwellings based on the extant permission. The site is enclosed by the East Coast Main Line railway line to the East, Jossey Lane to the North and Pipering Lane East to the South East. To the South West of the site is a residential estate whereby the rear boundaries of a number of properties fronting onto Appleton Way and Bowland Close abut the boundary to the site. The North West boundary of the site is contained by the disused railway line that extends along the western side of the boundary and the rear of the adjacent housing estate. Residential properties are also located to the south and East of the site but are separated by Pipering Lane East and the East Coast railway line. The northern part of the site primarily contains Bentley House, a two storey pitched roof office block and provision for the outdoor storage of plant and machinery. Bentley House is proposed to be demolished as part of the rationalisation works. There are approximately 175 car parking spaces across the Bentley Works site. The majority of the site’s car parking provision is located on the very southern portion of the site, fronting onto Pipering Lane East. The works site in the southern part of the site has developed in an ad hoc manner over a period of time resulting in buildings of varying states of repair and appearance. Sitting centrally within the site is a static electric gantry crane, whilst to the south of the crane is the majority of the site’s built development.

Source of Site: Permission
Site Size (ha) & Potential Capacity:
41.41Ha / 600 units
Brownfield/ Greenfield: Brownfield
Site Description: The site extends to approximately 41.4 hectares in size and is located 2.7km to the north-east of Doncaster Town Centre. The site is capable of accommodation 600 dwellings based on its extant permission for a mixed use development and includes some employment related uses. There are five points of access dispersed along Wheatley Hall Road. The site is split into 2 parcels, namely: the Former McCormick Tractors (32 ha), and Riverdale Business Park (10 ha). The former McCormick Tractor site was occupied by McCormicks for the manufacturing of tractors (previously International Harvester). Following the cessation of this use and the removal of all plant and machinery by McCormick, the buildings were left in a poor condition and a semi-redundant state and were demolished in December 2009. Since then the site had an interim use by Ringways Motor Group for the display of cars and Pre-Delivery Inspection. This use has subsequently ceased. Riverdale Business Park has existed for a number of years, and continues to provide accommodation for a number of small businesses. The business park is under-utilised and has a number of vacant units. Within the north and north western boundaries of the site are two oxbow lakes, which formed part of the former River Don watercourse. Whilst the oxbow lakes are detached from the watercourse, they create parcels of land detached from the main site. Whilst formerly used for tipping material as a result of the industrial processes, these areas have become colonised by trees and represent an ecological asset. The site is bordered to the north by the River Don Navigation Channel, which runs parallel with Wheatley Hall Road. Beyond this is the River Don, railway lines and further beyond, open countryside. Moving eastwards, the site is adjoined by allotments and the Polypipe factory. Further beyond, is the Long Sandall Waste Water Treatment Works. The southern boundary of the site adjoins Wheatley Hall Road (A630), which is a dual lane carriageway. On the other side of Wheatley Hall Road there are a number of commercial uses including Wheatley Retail Park, Wheatley Hall Trade Park, the site of the former Tyco factory which is undergoing mixed-use development. To the south-west of the site, beyond Wheatley Hall Road the area is largely residential, which in part fronts directly onto Wheatley Hall Road. To the west is the Parklands Sport and Social Club and its associated playing fields and recreational area. Wheatley Hall Road is generally a retail/commercial road into the town centre with heavy concentration of car showrooms.
