The sites with lapsed or refused planning that interests us around Maltby
If a scheme near Maltby was refused or ran out of time, the officer's report usually shows what a better application would need. In South Yorkshire, Maltby sits about 11 miles east of Sheffield; Dinnington and Conisbrough are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Sites where an appeal was dismissed on specific points
- Withdrawn applications
- Land with an old permission that was never started
- 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.
Before we make an offer in Maltby
Reasons for refusal
The wording of each reason tells us what would need to change.
Policy changes
National and local policy may have moved since the last decision, for better or worse.
Time since decision
The longer ago the decision, the more the context may have changed.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 67 miles from Maltby, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Sites with lapsed or refused planning in Maltby: common questions
My permission lapsed years ago. Is it still relevant?
Yes. An old permission shows the principle was once accepted, though current policy now applies.
How do you decide if a site is worth another attempt?
We look at the reasons for refusal, any appeal, current policy and the technical evidence, then give a straight view.
How quickly can you look at a site in Maltby?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Maltby assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
