A plan to build 60 new homes in Sharow has been approved.
Non-profit developer Broadacres Housing Association Limited, which is based in Northallerton, submitted a joint proposal with V&A Homes (Yorkshire) in November to Harrogate Borough Council for land off Dishforth Road.
It proposed to build 60 houses in the area, 24 of which would be affordable homes. The rest would be open market homes.
Now, North Yorkshire Council, which replaced the borough council on April 1, has approved the plan.
The plans come after permission was granted for a housing scheme on the site in 2020, but has since lapsed.
The revised proposal sees a mix of one, two, three and four bed semi-detached houses as well as several three, four and five bed detached dwellings.
All the houses would have parking provisions and a pocket park will be on site.
In documents submitted to the council, Broadacres said:
“Land to the south of Dishforth Road, Sharow offers a unique opportunity to provide housing and community uses in a logical and sustainable location that would bring benefits to the village and those who live there today and in the future.”
