Plan approved for two more houses on Markington pub site
The former Cross Keys Inn on High Street in Markington.
Plans have been approved for two new houses on a former pub site in Markington.
The proposal, which was submitted by Leeds-based Lotherton Property Services, would see the homes built behind what was the Cross Keys Inn on High Street in the village.
The pub closed in 2016 due to declining turnover and profitability.
It is currently being converted into a house after plans were approved in January.
Now, North Yorkshire Council has given approval for a further two four-bedroom homes built on the site
In documents submitted to the council, the developer said:
“The site seeks to accommodate two detached dwellings, which would generate less vehicular traffic than the previous use.”

The move comes after the developer received permission to convert the Cross Keys Inn into a four-bedroom house.
It said in planning documents that the building had been extensively marketed for sale as a pub.
But it added potential buyers had shown little interest in reopening it for that purpose.
