More than 100 homes proposed for housing allocation site

Plans for 109 new homes in Eggborough have been submitted to North Yorkshire Council by housebuilder Persimmon.

The developer wants to build a mix of property types and sizes ranging from one through to four-bedroom homes on the site at Low Eggborough Road.

Eight of the homes will be transferred to a housing association and three will be provided as First Homes sold to first-time buyers at a 30% discount.

All homes will come fitted with electric vehicle chargers and air-source heat pumps. The proposed development includes a substantial Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) contribution earmarked to support local infrastructure improvements.

Plans for the development include a dedicated children’s play space and over two acres of public open space and woodland planting.

Scott Waters, managing director, Persimmon Yorkshire, said: “We’re pleased to have submitted plans for new, high quality and energy efficient homes in this part of Yorkshire.

“With the need for new housing rightly high up the political agenda, we’re pleased to be working with North Yorkshire Council and local stakeholders to deliver homes for first-time buyers, families and downsizers alike.”
