Green Belt Housing Plan approved, subject to Government approval

The plans include a mix of two to four bedroom homes, as well as public open space.

Together Housing’s application states that just 461 additional affordable homes were delivered in York between 2013 and 2019.

He added that the increase in supply over that time was 77 when taking into account homes lost under the Right to Buy scheme.

According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, the statement stated that objections to flooding were due to the site being “prone to flooding” and acknowledged that “while the need for affordable housing is recognized, it should not be located in the green belt.”

Huntington Parish Council also objected and called for the plans to be rejected due to road safety concerns, particularly the safety of those crossing New Lane.
