This will include a £1m investment in local education alongside highway improvements and enhanced biodiversity measures.

“Together, these new developments will make a real difference to Barnsley, both in terms of housing supply and the wider investment that comes with it,” said Andrew Poyner, managing director at Vistry West Yorkshire.

“Bringing a former mining site back into use, investing in schools and infrastructure, and making sure half the homes are affordable is exactly the kind of balanced growth our model enables, and what communities want to see.”
