Plans Submitted for Barnsley 200 New Homes

Harron Homes was founded in Yorkshire in 1992

Leading housebuilder Harron Homes Yorkshire has submitted a planning application to Barnsley Metropolitan Council for 230 new homes which will transform a discussed brownfield site on Bleachcroft Way in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.

The proposals will not only regenerate the site, which has stood empty for 50 years, but it will also bring significant enhancements to the existing ecological features of the site, including Dob Sike.

The development will deliver a mix of two-, three- and four-bedroom homes all with electric car charging points and will feature green open spaces with picnic benches, a Trim Trail, a play area, footpaths, wildlife habitats, a woodland and 12.5 hectares of wildflower areas.

A historic area of high ecological value

The Dob Sike waterway is a historic area of high ecological value which is home to ancient trees, water voles and other wildlife. It will be restored and maintained by Harron and incorporated into the new development. The development will also feature an area of Birch Oak woodland that in previous plans for the site was lost.

Air Testing for Extensions: What Homeowners Need to Know

Air testing for extensions is a crucial process that measures the air permeability of your new extension, ensuring compliance with specific building regulations. This test helps identify potential leaks, confirming if your building envelope is properly sealed. Effective air tightness reduces energy consumption, minimises heat loss, and enhances indoor comfort while lowering carbon emissions. To prepare, you should seal all gaps and cracks, temporarily seal ventilation systems, close all doors and windows, and inspect insulation. Professional assistance from experts like Ratio Seven can ensure thorough preparation and accurate results, making your home extension more energy-efficient and comfortable.

Sound Insulation Testing

Sound insulation testing is a legal requirement in the UK for new and converted dwellings. Building regulations require that such tests are carried out by qualified and registered testers who have undergone appropriate training and have been accredited by a third party approved by the MHCLG. Members of the ANC Registration Scheme, UKAS accredited companies and acoustic consultants are all suitable for carrying out pre-completion tests. The ANC registration scheme covers all its members, who are registered and qualified to carry out sound insulation testing.
