A substantial greenfield parcel of approximately 66 acres (27 ha) sits off Oldcotes Road in Throapham, offering a clear-scale opportunity for residential development or strategic land investment. The site is safeguarded in the Rotherham Sites and Policies Document (June 2018) and lies close to J31 of the M1, providing strong transport links for future occupants or commercial schemes. Proposed vehicular access is from Oldcotes Road, with potential secondary access off Leys Lane; a neighbouring developer (Harron Homes) must construct a highway to their eastern boundary to enable an additional access point.
Important planning and commercial considerations are straightforward: the land is safeguarded rather than fully allocated, so formal planning permission is not granted and proposals will require council engagement. The site is currently arable greenfield and will need full development infrastructure, drainage, and services before housing can proceed. Local services include nearby primary schools and existing new-build residential development immediately west of the site, which indicates market demand but also ongoing construction activity.
This offering suits housebuilders, strategic land investors or developers looking for a large-scale project in South Yorkshire with easy motorway access. Note practical details: the area records average mobile signal and fast broadband, flood risk is reported as none, and the surrounding locality is classified as very deprived, which will influence tenure, mix and viability assessments. The sale is by deadline (midday Wednesday 12th March 2025), so interested parties should prepare due diligence materials promptly.
