South Yorkshire Residential Design Guide
The South Yorkshire Residential Design Guide has been produced on behalf of the four South Yorkshire local authorities - Rotherham, Barnsley, Doncaster and Sheffield, in collaboration with Transform South Yorkshire the Housing Market Renewal Pathfinder for the sub-region.
Within Rotherham, the document has been approved for use as a best practice guide pending future consideration of its adoption (all or in part) as a Supplementary Planning Document once the Core Strategy has been completed.
It is aimed principally at housing developments of over 10 units. The aim of the guide is to update the existing 'Better Places to Live in South Yorkshire' design guide to provide robust urban and highway design guidance for applicants, agents, developers and designers. It sets out a consistent South Yorkshire approach to major residential development, and will be used by us to appraise the quality of new housing proposals. It will promote high quality design and development, which is sensitive to the context in which it is located.
