A statue is set to be erected close to the site where Kes was shot in Hoyland Common.
The statue, of Billy Casper holding Kes, will be constructed on Hoyland Road if plans are approved.
Planning documents state that the 2m tall statue will face the former home of Barry Hines, author of A Kestrel for Knave upon which the film was based.
The sculpture will be located at the corner of Hoyland Road and Stead Lane, and be made of matte black powder coated steel.
