Plan submitted for 23 affordable homes in Scotton
Developers have submitted plans for 23 affordable homes in Scotton.
Harrogate-based Jack Lunn (Properties) Ltd has lodged the proposal to Harrogate Borough Council, which would see the development built off Ripley Road in the village.
The plan would see a mix of one, two and three-bedroom affordable homes built on the site.
Affordable housing is defined as housing for people who cannot afford to buy or rent homes on the open market. The price varies locally.
The council estimates the district needs 6,600 affordable homes built between 2014
and 2035, which is the equivalent of 313 per year.
Also included in the Scotton proposal are measures for access and public open space.

The borough council will make a decision on the proposal at a later date.
