Plans submitted for flats block on disused car park in Doncaster town centre

Tasawer Hussain, along with DMS Architecture, have sent a detailed proposal to planning officers at the council for nine apartments on a disused car park between Dockin Hill Road and Church Way.

The properties, which are adjacent to the Stag Inn, will be a mixture of one and two-bedroom flats.

Wider plans also include a residents' car park with 10 spaces and a bicycle store.

No objections were received but the Environment Agency requested the ground floor should be used for parking only due to a risk of flooding which was deemed to be ‘medium/high risk’.

Doncaster Council is keen to redevelop the waterfront area of the town and moved quickly by signing an executive order to snap up a piece of land nearby.

DMS Architecture, on behalf of the applicant, said the development would ‘enhance the area’ and was sympathetic to its surroundings.
