- Plots where policy has changed since the last decision
Most of the area lies on the former coalfield, so mining risk assessments are common, and flood risk from the Don, Dearne and Rother affects low-lying sites around Doncaster and Rotherham. The M1 and M18 corridors, Supertram and the rail network influence where higher-density homes are supported.
What usually makes or breaks it
Reasons for refusal
The wording of each reason tells us what would need to change.
Appeal history
An inspector's decision carries weight in future applications.
Time since decision
The longer ago the decision, the more the context may have changed.
Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 70 miles from Conisbrough, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
