Our northern planning team have submitted a full planning application for an 100% affordable housing scheme on land currently designated as Green Belt off Boroughbridge Road, York on behalf of Karbon Homes and York Housing Association.

/

The scheme comprises of a mix of 60 affordable homes including detached, semi-detached, terrace properties and bungalows to create a balanced community, offering dwellings for social rent, rent to buy and shared ownership.

The proposal is accompanied by a ‘very special circumstances’ case in support of development within the Green Belt which includes the acute need for affordable housing, the sites lack of contribution to Green Belt purposes and lack of harm to openness.

The submission follows representations to stage one of the York Local Plan Examination and community consultation.
