Thirty-seven houses look set to be built on the site of former warehouses in Ripon after Harrogate Borough Council granted outline planning permission this week.
Prime Talent Ltd submitted plans to demolish vacant buildings at the Old Goods Yard, 2 Hutton Bank, which were previously used by companies such as Millennium Windows and Power Plastics, and build the homes.
Originally, 43 homes were mooted but the number was reduced after concerns were raised about the loss of the site for employment use.
An updated scheme was put forward with fewer homes and six units, which can be used by local businesses.
In August 2019, the council's planning committee deferred approval to the chief planner subject to conditions, which included the completion of a legal agreement that dealt with the number of affordable homes.
Councillors also asked for a study on how the homes would be protected against subsidence.
