Former reservoir set for residential development

DEVELOPERS Keyland, in partnership with Rouse Homes, have submitted planning to develop a residential site in North Yorkshire.

Richmond District Council will be considering the development of 22 homes at a former reservoir.

22 homes will be built if the partnership are given the go-ahead for the Whashton Road site.

The 108,900 sq ft site in North Richmond is south of the Richmond Golf Club.

Keyland and Rouse Homes Ltd’s proposals include a mix of 3, 4 and 5 bedroom detached and semi-detached homes.

Peter Garrett, managing director of Keyland Developments Ltd, said; “There is a recognised requirement for new homes within the Richmond area and the proposals have the potential to bring back into use a redundant site to make a positive and much-needed contribution to these long-term housing needs.

“Due to its scale and positioning within an established suburban and residential setting, the site is ideally suited to accommodating new homes and by working with Rouse Homes Ltd, we can facilitate a sensitively-designed, high quality scheme to complement the locality.”

Tony Watling, managing director at Rouse Homes Ltd, continued; “We are delighted to be partnering with Keyland to address the housing requirements within North Richmond.

“We are confident that these proposals will be a welcome addition to the local area.”
