🌿 Planning update: Rotherham’s 5-year housing land supply has dropped
🏡 Grey belt land? Now might be the right time to take another look.

Rotherham Council has confirmed it can no longer demonstrate a 5-year supply of housing land — which means national policy now gives more weight to sustainable development, even in areas that may have been tricky before, like the grey belt.

At JR Planning, we’re already working with clients across the borough to assess what this means in practice — and in many cases, it’s opening doors.

If you’ve got land in or around Rotherham and you’re wondering whether it has planning potential, we’re always happy to have a chat.
