Peel Land Unveils Ambitious Plans for 1,800 Home Residential Development at Doncaster Sheffield Airport Site

Peel Land has announced exciting plans to develop up to 1,800 homes within the Doncaster Sheffield Airport masterplan area. This transformative residential project, named the Hurstwood development, is a key element of a broader initiative to rejuvenate the airport site and its surrounding region.

The Hurstwood project aligns with significant advancements at Doncaster Sheffield Airport, signaling a bright future for the area:

• New Airport Operator Secured: A new operator has been appointed for Doncaster Sheffield Airport, with the potential resumption of passenger flights anticipated within the next 18 months.
• Long-Term Lease Agreement: The City of Doncaster Council has signed a 125-year lease to manage the former airport site, underscoring its commitment to reviving aviation activities.
• Major Investment from SYMCA: The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) has allocated £138 million to support the reopening of the airport and enhance its operational capabilities.

Peel Land’s residential initiative is complemented by other key housing developments in the area. This includes a £5.4 million project near First Avenue and Hayfield Lane, featuring a mix of two, three, and four-bedroom homes, with over £250,000 in funding already secured.

The Hurstwood project is an integral part of the ambitious GatewayEast vision, which aims to establish a dynamic mixed-use site. GatewayEast is set to deliver unparalleled national connectivity, foster aviation-related activities, and drive economic growth in South Yorkshire.

These developments signal a promising future for the Doncaster Sheffield Airport site, offering new opportunities for residents, businesses, and travellers alike.
