Petition Against Planning Application 25/01467/FULM
Mary Woollett Centre, Doncaster
(SIGNING THIS PETITION SHOWS SUPPORT. PLEASE ALSO REGISTER A FORMAL OBJECTION USING THIS LINK AND REFERENCE:
REF - 25/01467/FULM
LINK TO OBJECT - https://planning.doncaster.gov.uk/online-applications/
We, the undersigned, strongly object to planning application 25/01467/FULM, which seeks to:
Convert the historic Mary Woollett Centre (formerly Danum Girls Grammar School) into 55 flats, and
Construct a new three-storey block containing 44 flats on the same site.
This would result in 99 flats in total.
Many local residents are NOT happy with the news and plans of this development.
Our objections are based on:
Parking & Traffic – Our streets are already congested, and this development would significantly worsen the problem.
Overdevelopment – The scale and density of this proposal is excessive and unsuitable for the site.
Heritage – The Mary Woollett Centre is an iconic local building, and the proposed scheme risks damaging its historic character.
Community Impact – Increased traffic, noise, and further strain on schools, GPs, and other local services.
We therefore urge Doncaster Council to refuse this application.
