Worksop
Hallam Land Management and IBA Planning Limited have submitted a planning application for land at Peaks Hill Farm in Carlton in Lindrick parish on the northern edge of Worksop. The submitted planning application can be viewed on Bassetlaw District Council’s website (application reference number 23/01429/OUT).
The site lies between the A60 Carlton Road and the B6045 Blyth Road. It is identified as an allocation for residential-led, mixed use development in the emerging Bassetlaw Local Plan (2020-2038) under POLICY 16: Site HS1: Peaks Hill Farm, Worksop.
The proposed development is for a mixed use urban extension to Worksop, providing up to 1,120 dwellings and land for around 1,000 jobs within a high quality green setting which is respectful of its location adjacent to the existing settlement and countryside edge.
This development has the opportunity to provide new, high-quality homes, local shops and community facilities, a site for a school and employment land to expand upon the successful Carlton Forest Industrial Estate. The site will also deliver a new link road built to distributor standards between the A60 Carlton Road and the B6405 Blyth Road, reducing the impact of development traffic on the wider network and provide some localised benefits to existing highway users by providing an alternative route between the two transport corridors.
The development would be delivered within a framework of generous green spaces including enhanced existing woodlands and delivering a mix of open spaces including play areas, sports pitches and well connected walking and cycling routes to deliver long term benefits for biodiversity and recreation. Additionally, wetlands, grasslands, tree and hedgerow planting will be delivered, designed to increase biodiversity across the site.
