Taylor Wimpey submits plans for 390 homes in Ripon
Housebuilder Taylor Wimpey has submitted plans for 390 homes in Ripon.
Government housing agency Homes England commissioned the company to build the scheme off West Lane as part of an £89.5 million contract.
The proposal, which already has outline permission, would see a mixture of two, three and four-bedroom homes built on the site.
Most of the houses will be for market sale, but 156 properties will be designated as affordable housing.
Sarah Armstrong, land director for Taylor Wimpey North Yorkshire, said:

Should planning permission be approved, Taylor Wimpey expects work to start in spring this year.
Homes England intervened to buy the site after Barrett Homes pulled out of the scheme in July 2020.
Marie Kiddell, head of planning and enabling north at Homes England said:
Harrogate Borough Council will make a decision on the plan at a later date.
