    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.

    In documents submitted to the council, the developer said that the homes would make a “positive contribution” to the area.

    It said:

    “The design proposal intends to provide a sympathetic response to the surrounding context. 
    “The homes use materials indicative of the local area whilst the layout seeks to provide a range of homes as part of the development to allow for a positive contribution to the local community.”


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