This zone is found near to the urban core of the settlements of Doncaster, Sheffield, Barnsley and Rotherham. This zone generally underwent fundamental character change in the period 1945-1977. The dominant theme of change was urban renewal, with areas generally cleared wholesale of earlier buildings and features, and street patterns reconfigured. Concrete office blocks, underpasses, large duel carriageways and new commercial developments are key features of this zone.
