Council rejects nine-home plan in Killinghall
North Yorkshire Council has rejected plans for nine new homes in Killinghall.
Newett Homes, which is based in Wetherby, submitted a planning application for a site north of Skipton Road, near to the junction with the B6161 Otley Road.
The proposal would have seen a mixture of three, four and five-bedroom houses.
However, council officials have refused the plan on the grounds that it fails to provide an appropriate mixture of housing and concerns over surface water flooding.
In a decision notice, Trevor Watson, assistant director of planning at the council, said:
The council added that it had not been demonstrated that the site would be “all sources of flooding for its lifetime without increasing flood risk elsewhere”.
Meanwhile, in a letter to the council, Killinghall Parish Council said residents had concerns over access to the site from Skipton Road.
