Welcome To The Green Corridor


The Green Corridor is a housing led project, developed by Doncaster, Barnsley and Wakefield for an area of Yorkshire which has a common rural mining legacy, a need for regeneration in parts and a strong future because of location and accessibility.

The Green Corridor sits between the Leeds and Sheffield City Regions. Its towns and villages grew up around the mining industry. These towns have a proud industrial heritage and a bright future ahead of them.

The area has become known as the Green Corridor in recognition of its unique appeal and distinctive features - a green and rural environment within easy reach of two major cities.

In 2003, Barnsley, Doncaster, and Wakefield got together to consider the future of these settlements and ask the questions.
  • What is their purpose within the City Region and regional context?
  • Who wants to live and invest in them?

  • What do the towns need to make them prosperous and sustainable places to live and work?
