en.Wedoany.com Reported - Bellway Strategic Land in the UK has submitted a planning application to North Yorkshire Council, seeking permission for a residential development on the edge of Sherburn in Elmet, proposing up to 250 homes. The residential development site is located on a 27-acre plot of land on the western side of Finkle Hill, situated on the northwestern boundary of the town. The scheme includes a mix of homes ranging from two to five bedrooms, with up to half of the properties designated as affordable housing.

The residential development also includes over 6 acres of public open space, featuring walking routes, play areas, and landscaped greenery. Alex Paullin, Northern Regional Manager for Bellway Strategic Land, stated: "North Yorkshire Council has acknowledged the urgent need to deliver more homes across the county, particularly in the Selby district. Sherburn in Elmet has been identified as a sustainable location for residential development, and we have identified this land near Finkle Hill as the most logical site for new housing in the town. The site is conveniently located on a main north-south transport route through the town, is less than a mile from local shops and services, and has bus services connecting to neighbouring towns and villages. The residential development will also encourage an active lifestyle by providing extensive open space on land that is currently inaccessible to the public. With up to 50% of the homes designated as affordable housing, our proposals will also contribute to addressing the shortage of affordable housing supply in North Yorkshire."

The site is located approximately 12 miles northeast of Leeds, with convenient public transport connections, including nearby bus stops and pedestrian routes. Pre-application discussions were held with North Yorkshire Council prior to submitting the planning application for the residential development. If approved, a subsequent reserved matters application will be submitted to determine the final number, design, and layout of the homes. This scheme proposes a reduced total number of housing units compared to an application that was withdrawn in August 2023.
