Bellway Strategic Land has submitted plans for a development of around 120 homes in the North Yorkshire village of Killinghall.<\/p>\n
The planning application is for a 16-acre site to the west of Ripon Road, on the northern edge of the village.<\/p>\n
It includes a large new area of public open space, which would be accessible to residents and the wider community, alongside wildlife areas.<\/p>\n
Alex Bowling, Bellway strategic land manager for the North, said: \u201cOur plans for this site would provide around 120 high-quality new homes for the area, including 40 per cent affordable housing for local people, in a location where new homes are desperately needed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe project would also bring a range of other benefits, creating nearly six acres of new public open space for both new and existing residents to use.<\/p>\n
\t <\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a really sustainable location, as people living here would be able to walk into the village centre or take the bus to Harrogate or Ripon. We\u2019re planning to upgrade the footpath along Ripon Road and provide a new zebra crossing, as well as linking to existing public rights of way and improving the bus stop next to the site to support the use of public transport.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have carried out extensive consultation on the plans, including with the local community in October, and have taken their feedback on board in the design of the project. We\u2019re therefore hoping this outline application will be approved so we can move forward to the next stage of the planning process.\u201d<\/p>\n
The submission to North Yorkshire Council follows public consultation around the proposals which took place earlier this year.<\/p>\n
If approved, the development would bring inward investment in the local area through the Community Infrastructure Levy and developer contributions, as well as creating new jobs in construction and supporting local businesses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
