Developer given green light for nearly 200 homes

Persimmon’s plans for 193 new homes in Market Weighton have received full planning permission from East Riding of Yorkshire Council.

Persimmon says it expects construction will start in the next few months.

The homes will be built on land off Holme Road, which is allocated for housing in the East Riding Local Plan.

Persimmon’s Bradley Park development will consist of a variety of house types suitable for local homebuyers, including bungalows and houses ranging from one to four bedrooms. Eight single-storey bungalows will be available.

All homes will be fitted with electric vehicle chargers and built to new building regulations, ensuring improved energy efficiency and helping to reduce energy bills.

Residents will benefit from over 2.2 acres of public open space, including a children’s play area.

The housebuilder will contribute nearly £750,000 to local infrastructure improvements. Contributions will include £366,921 towards outdoor sports, £320,000 towards primary education, and payments for two additional bus stops along York Road.

Joel Frank, land director at Persimmon Homes Yorkshire, said: “We are thrilled to receive approval for 193 new homes in Market Weighton.

“This project not only delivers high-quality new homes but also contributes significant investment into the local community.

“We are excited to work with local stakeholders and East Riding of Yorkshire Council to bring this vision to life for local homebuyers.”
