Dr Seuss Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 ....... In my opinion I would like British Coal use the open casted land more responsibly instead of trying to make some quick cash. ....... I think you mean UKCoal:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kipper Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 The point I was trying to make is that nothing should be built on there, or anywhere these days that is threatened by flooding or subsidance. I reckon thats why there is no school on the plans as it has pricked a minute bit of conscience. A thriving new woodland that can re-establish the Tinsley Woods area that was decamated during building the steel works would be a good ecological start and bring back diverse industries not to mention new amenities.

MJ2010 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Hi, Just wondering if anyone has reserved a plot on any of the new developments at Waverley and what people generally think of the regeneration that is going on? We are thinking of reserving a plot... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torr3x Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Bit of a quiet thread but thought i'd post. Had a look around at what they had built when i was passing this weekend. Some nice houses on there. My partner has certainly fell in love so I expect to be living there in the near future. Great location for some nice walks around treeton dyke, not sure how far they are planning on building to. Wouldn't want to be to close to river in light of the flooding Catcliffe suffered couple year back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wibbles Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 http://www.rotherham.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/85DF40A9-35F3-4173-8F2B-5D7F6A96C3C5/0/FullMasterplanReportSection7.pdf Cheers Muddy Looks like the station is in there. Can't figure out where exactly, as that map appears to be for cycle routes, and I am having difficulty spotting any existing features on it They'd recently refurbished one of the pedestrian bridges over the railway, this was before the housing development started and it left me puzzled as there was no direct footpath link from either side.

Flooding can be prevented and I'd be surprised it got the go ahead without strict design requirements relating to flood prevention. I pass that way quite a lot and have seen some major civil engineering works on and around that site. I'm not privy to the designs or specifications but something has been done. However, I will add that on my frequent passes, especially when it's been raining the water flows like a river down across the road and towards the site.

Lawson Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 isnt the HS2 proposed route also pretty close to this site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomA Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I really dont see the point in buying one of those houses at the moment. The plans for HS2 suggest the line will be VERY close to the houses that are currently being built, plus the houses are pretty expensive for what they are when you consider housing prices in the immediate area. For instance, there are some new builds in treeton that are very nice, plus they dont have the potential issue with HS2 and the whole project is nearly finished so you wouldnt be living on a building site for the next 10 or so years. Personally, I think that houses on blue mans way in catcliffe are an absolute bargain. For instance, theres one currently in that little estate going for £135k and has 4 bedrooms, 2 en suites plus a large kitchen living room and garage. another end terrace with the same spec has already been sold for that price so I would say thats the going rate for the top houses on that estate. I also know for a fact that the road did not flood in 2007 (as I was there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you about getting more for your money in Catcliffe. Sadly, even houses that didn't flood with be tarred with same brush as people will worry.
