PLANS to build 14 new homes in Brierley have been approved - despite considerable objections to the scheme.
Councillors on Barnsley Council’s planning board met on Tuesday to discuss the plan on Park View, which is a quiet cul-de-sac.
The plan includes six four-bedroom and eight three-bedroom properties, and concerns are about a loss of greenspace, a negative impact on wildlife, more pressure on school places and ongoing parking issues .
