A CGI of the community building planned for Kirk Hammerton.

A developer has resubmitted plans for new retirement homes and a community hub in Kirk Hammerton.

SageHaus Living, which is based in the Isle of Man, had previously lodged the proposals for 55 modular units on land off Station Road in the village.

However, the developer withdrew the plans in February this year in order to “consider comments made about the scheme”.

Now, it has tabled fresh plans to North Yorkshire Councl for 61 retirement homes.

SageHause Living, which acquired the site known as Carlton Fields in 2021, said in documents submitted to the council that scheme would help bring more retirement accommodation to the district, while also being environmentally friendly.



The developer said in documents to the council that it was still committed to building the scheme in a “sustainable manner”.

It said:

“The revised scheme which is the subject of this application proposes the construction of 61 permanent extra care residential units rather than lodge style modular units. 
“However SageHaus Livings objective is still on building in the most sustainable manner so the units will still be delivered by MMC.”


It added that a community hub would also be built, which would be larger than previously proposed.

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