How schemes in Maltby get decided.
One council for planning and highways
Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council handles both the planning application and the highways response, so we talk to its highways team early and give the case officer a clear answer. Bus services and wider transport plans are shaped by South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, and good evidence reflects that.
What shapes schemes in Maltby
A former colliery town east of Rotherham, near M18 junction 1, with no passenger station. In the centre, the questions are servicing, parking and how people walk to the shops and the station. On the edges, it’s access, visibility and the main junctions.
Roads, rail and buses
The main roads are the A631 and A634, near M18 junction 1. There’s no railway station, so bus services and safe walking and cycling routes carry more weight. Where a scheme adds traffic to the M18, National Highways needs to agree the evidence as well. We tell you early if yours does.
Questions we get asked
Who is the highway authority in Maltby?
Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council is both the planning authority and the highway authority for local roads. National Highways is responsible for the M18.
Do you cover the area around Maltby?
Yes, including Rotherham, Doncaster and Worksop, and the villages and rural sites in between.
Will National Highways need to be involved?
Only if a scheme adds enough traffic to the M18 to matter. We check that at the start and, where it’s needed, agree the approach with them alongside the council.
