More houses added to 1,300 homes plan
Plans for 140 new homes in a Nottinghamshire village have been submitted.
Housing developer Bellway Homes Ltd applied to Bassetlaw District Council for the appearance, layout, scale and landscaping of the scheme, earmarked for land south of Scrooby Road in Harworth.
It's part of a wider Bassetlaw development of more than 1,300 properties, approved on the land in 2021 and called the Harworth Colliery Regeneration Scheme.
The Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) said the properties will be split into 61 three-bedroom homes and 77 four-bedroom homes.
All homes will be two storeys to be in keeping with the different phases of the wider development and have a clear, urban structure.
LDRS said residents will mainly access the site from the north but will have connecting access from the different phases.
Planning papers say: "New residents and following generations will have the opportunity to have long and successful lives in a sustainable and pleasant location."
Jones Homes and Kier Living will build 71 and 125 homes on two separate patches of land at the Scrooby Road entrance.
Miller Homes and Harron Homes are currently building on-site as part of the Phase 2 of the wider development, which started in early 2022.
Harron Homes also plans to develop a further 65 homes on the site, however LDRS said the district council will decide on this application at a later date.

Development of 24 homes refused for a second time
A new proposal for a housing development in a village has been refused by planners at a council. The plan for 24 new homes in Glinton, near Peterborough, was put forward by the Rutland-based developer, Hereward Homes Ltd. Peterborough City Council refused the new scheme on Wednesday, following an initial application that was declined in December. According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS), the case officer report stated the latest proposal was "near identical" to the last and would have a "detrimental impact" on the village's rural setting. The fresh application was put forward in March, which Hereward Homes Ltd said addressed the previous issues. The developer argued the proposed development demonstrated a "high quality of design" and would use materials appropriate to the character of the village. The application received objections from the council's conservation officer, urban design officer and five local residents. The area has been the subject of three applications for new homes in the past. All of them were refused for reasons including insufficient visitor parking and highway safety. In May, plans for 250 homes submitted by Gladman Developments were refused, which raised concerns with the parish council and residents. Another application by Larkfleet Group for 95 homes was refused in February following opposition from councillors. Bob Randall, the vice-chairman of Glinton Parish Council, previously told the LDRS of the village's concerns about the proposed allocation of 355 homes in the council's draft Local Plan. He said: "Glinton is getting a big chunk of the development that's being proposed for rural villages and that is really unsustainable."

Planned data centre could create up to 1,000 jobs
Up to 1,000 jobs could be created by a new artificial intelligence data centre in North Lincolnshire. A planning application has been submitted for the "AI data centre campus" by the A15 next to Elsham Wolds Industrial Estate. It would cover up to 435 acres (176 hectares) of agricultural fields. According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS), construction costs are estimated as between £5.5bn and £9bn, excluding the cost of the computing equipment. The outline application suggests it could comprise up to 15 individual data centre buildings as well as a greenhouse complex and energy centre, the LDRS said. An estimated 2,600 to 3,600 jobs a year on and off site would be supported during the ten-year construction of the facility, according to the LDRS. A proposed energy centre on site would produce up to 49.9MW of electricity a year. Next to it would be a greenhouse complex, using waste heat from the cooling of the data centre buildings to grow agricultural produce. An economic report for the greenhouse predicts it could grow 4,728 tonnes of tomatoes a year supporting an estimated 64 jobs on and off site. There would also be a creche, café, gym and small shop which would be available to workers at the existing industrial estate. Last year, North Lincolnshire Council approved plans for a £2.2bn data centre by the A180 near South Killingholme, which it said would create almost 400 jobs. The application for the Elsham Wolds development is open for residents' comments until 26 June.

Harron Homes buys land for 291-home Cleckheaton development
A housing developer has bought almost 30 acres of land in Cleckheaton. Harron Homes has completed the purchase of the land, in Merchant Fields, preparing the way for a new residential development of 291 homes. The homes will be a mix of two, three, and four-bedroom properties, and 58 of them will be 'affordable.' A spokesperson described how the development was set to feature footpath links, open spaces, and a play area and 'trim trail.' There are also plans for the creation of a "large pond," and the development of an orchard. Air source heat pumps and electric vehicle charging points will feature too. Construction is expected to begin shortly, with the first homes set to be released for sale in November 2025, and the first residents anticipated to move in by April 2026. A spokesperson said that Harron Homes will contribute more than £1.15 million towards local education provision, more than £420,000 towards open space improvements in the surrounding area, and £145,000 for Metro Cards, to support sustainable travel. A further £120,000 will be invested "to enhance biodiversity on and around the site." Further information on the site layout, house types, and sales launch will be shared in the coming months.
