A housing developer has resubmitted plans for new homes in Markington.

KCS Development Ltd , which is based in Leeds, has tabled the plan for High Mill Farm on High Street in the village.

The proposal would see 13 new homes built on the site and include a range of two to four bedroom houses.

The move comes as the developer withdrew a plan for 21 properties on the land back in February.

At the time, some residents wrote to Harrogate Borough Council, which was abolished in April, to raise concern over the impact of the development on the landscape and infrastructure.

In new documents submitted to North Yorkshire Council, the developer says the application was withdrawn to consider “concerns raised by consultees and the planning officer”.

It added that the new development, which would consist of eight market houses and five affordable homes, would help to “provide new homes n a sustainable location”.

The developer said:

“The provision of housing in this location will assist in providing local construction jobs during the build phase, whilst also generating demand for local building materials and associated products from local suppliers. 
“The proposed development would therefore help to directly stimulate and support the local economy in addition to providing new homes in a sustainable location.”


North Yorkshire Council will make a decision on the plan at a later date.
