New Housing Developments Approved in Multiple Locations

Planning permissions have been granted for various residential developments across the UK, totaling over 400 new homes. In Barnsley, Netherton Homes will build 91 houses on a former factory site, contributing nearly £500,000 towards local school places and green space. Leicestershire's Davidsons Developments received a recommendation for approval to construct 53 homes on a golf course site, with 25% designated as affordable. Ballyclare's Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council approved 56 homes near existing residential areas, with no objections raised. In Ramsgate, a controversial plan for 118 homes on a factory site proceeded without any affordable units, despite local council policies. Lastly, Swaffham's development of 56 homes on a former allotment site faced community backlash regarding local infrastructure strain.
