Barnsley

The key objectives of the Housing Market Renewal Programme in Barnsley are to develop a more legible layout of settlements with clear hierarchy of connections.  This will reduce the levels of crime, vandalism and anti-social behaviour by implementing neighbourhood based management projects and implementing secured by design principles.

By reducing the supply of low demand housing and over provision in any one type of stock particularly the over reliance on semi detached and terraced properties Barnsley will bridge the two tier housing market through the introduction of middle to higher value housing

Barnsley is aiming to meet current and future demand for social housing  to recognise the need for affordable housing and new tenure types to support low cost home ownership.  This should increase the range of housing and care options for vulnerable members of the community including the old and those with special needs and long term limiting illnesses resulting from the economic past of the area

Remove obsolete housing and replace them, where required, with higher quality homes that meet the needs and aspirations of local residents and new migrants is key to TSY's success.
