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.

Sound Transmission in Modern Methods of Construction

In today’s rapidly evolving construction industry, addressing sound transmission is paramount for ensuring comfortable living and working spaces. Modern methods of construction (MMC) navigate these challenges through innovative designs and materials, including acoustic insulation, soundproof drywall, and double-glazing windows. You can significantly mitigate the impact of poor sound insulation on inhabitants by understanding the fundamental principles of acoustics, such as frequency and decibel levels, and by optimising building layouts and sealing joints. Ratio Seven, a leading construction consultancy, excels in this arena, offering expert analysis, precise material selection, and rigorous quality assurance to achieve unparalleled soundproofing in diverse construction projects.

What are cool roofs?

Cool roofs are designed to significantly reduce roof surface temperatures, thereby decreasing heat transfer into buildings and promoting energy efficiency. By utilising materials with high solar reflectance and thermal emittance, these roofs lower the demand for air conditioning, offering substantial energy savings and extending the lifespan of roofing materials. The environmental benefits include mitigating the urban heat island effect and reducing pollution. Companies like Ratio Seven play a pivotal role in the implementation of cool roof solutions by guiding clients through material selection, recommending suitable cool roof types, and leveraging their expertise to enhance energy efficiency and durability in building projects.

Understand Your Carbon Emissions Report UK and SAP Score

We know SAP Calculations and Carbon Emissions Reports can sound confusing, but they help us make sure homes in the UK use less energy and cost less to run. By looking at things like insulation, heating, and how a house is built, we can tell how much carbon it might release each year. This helps builders meet government rules and gives homeowners more comfortable places to live. At Ratio Seven, we make it simple to get these checks done early, so nothing slows your project down later. We’re here to help you build smarter and stay ready for the future.
