A DEVELOPER has secured a new site after exchanging contracts on 18.5 acres of land.
Subject to planning consent, Avant Homes outlined plans to build 300 homes on land off Thurnscoe Bridge Lane, Thurnscoe.
The housebuilder anticipates submitting plans for the proposed development in September.
Managing director, Richard Hosie, said: “Acquiring this site in Thurnscoe represents an exciting opportunity for us to deliver our multi-tenure strategy.
“As a housebuilder, we want to build quality new homes for everyone. This site is in an ideal location for us to deliver our range of practically designed, energy efficient homes in a place where people want to live.
“We look forward to working with Barnsley Council and submitting our plans to build a new and thriving community in Thurnscoe.”
