Work has started on a new housing development in Great Ouseburn.
North Yorkshire County Council’s housing company, Brierley Homes Limited, has started work on the scheme which is on Branton Lane in the village.
It will see nine new homes built on the site.
Called The Paddocks, the first phase will focus on a highways scheme to provide the access to the new development as well as the installation of traffic calming measures.

It will include a scheme to safeguard an avenue of lime trees and will be overseen by Brooks Ecological, which will work in partnership with the council’s highways company NY Highways.
Construction on the houses will start next year after access work is complete.
Matt O’Neill, director at Brierley Homes, said:
“We are pleased to be moving forwards with this development, which will provide high-quality new homes in an area with high demand for housing.
“It is good to be working with NY Highways and their work will help the village by providing new traffic calming measures and also protect the environment by ensuring the lime trees are protected from unintended damage.”
Ross Bullerwell, managing director of NY Highways, said:
“This highways work is a vital first step in the construction process and we are delighted to be completing the task on behalf of Brierley Homes Limited.
“Our construction staff are working carefully and the new traffic calming will be a benefit to all who live in the area.”
