• There are planning permissions in place for the development of the Power Park in Stainforth (see Proposals page), should these go ahead then it could mean that up to 700 additional HGV’s per day will be needed to serve the Power Park, these would be on the village road network.
• A by-pass road has outline permission, currently there is nothing in place to ensure it is built, despite the above.
• In the recent waste hearings (Oct 11) the group proved that waste volumes (both household and industrial) are falling locally and nationally, the proposed DEW facility is larger than the Sheffield Incinerator which, according to reports is short of industrial waste and currently takes waste from our region.
• Although not applied for, according to the developers website it is intended to proceed with an incinerator for the MRF.
• Should this be the case – then the Power Park site would have a large facility producing CO2 (green house gas), the Power Station which would be adjacent has the objective of recovering CO2 from coal and pipelining it to the North Sea – is this environmental common sense (2 different carbon objectives)?

RAID is a community group, join us and support your community:-

We are are a group of residents living in the DN7 area of Doncaster- Hatfield, Stainforth, Dunscroft, Hatfield Woodhouse, Dunsville and surrounding villages. There are concerns that some planning proposals in this region are not in the best interests of residents, especially where consultation has been poor, with regard to issues such as probable heavy traffic and pollution.

It is our aim to safeguard and promote the interests of residents, with regard to matters concerning planning proposals and new developments. We aim to improve green spaces, public rights of way and maintain quality of life, with in the local environment. RAID has no political interests, but does understand the need for progress and employment within the region. We shall endeavour to discuss those proposals that are considered to be inappropriate with all parties conerned
