The project, which has received full planning permission from Doncaster City Council, will deliver 200 homes on a 20-acre site near Crabgate Lane, ranging from two to four bedrooms.

Cromwell Grange Development Plan

Under a signed legal agreement, Bellway will invest over £140,000 to improve local public facilities. The funding is allocated as follows: £63,461 to support bus services, £31,358 for the upgrade of two bus stops, and £50,000 for environmental restoration along the River Skell. Regarding housing configuration, the 40 affordable homes include two-bedroom bungalows and duplex apartments, secured for low-cost rent or shared ownership.

In terms of technology application, all homes in this development will be standard-fitted with solar photovoltaic panels, smart thermostats, and electric vehicle charging points. To meet the needs of specific groups, the project includes specially designed two-bedroom bungalows and ground-floor duplex apartments that comply with wheelchair accessibility standards. Furthermore, an additional 130 homes feature adaptable designs, allowing residents to modify their living spaces as their life circumstances change.

Ecological landscaping works will be carried out concurrently on the construction site. The central public open space will feature over 200 newly planted trees, along with wildflower meadows and wetland vegetation. Mark Jones, Planning Manager for Bellway Yorkshire, confirmed that the main construction phase for this residential development is expected to begin later this year, with the first homes planned for occupation in early 2025.
