Castlevale submits Sowerby Gateway plans
PROPERTY developer Castlevale has put forward plans for a major new scheme on the outskirts of Sowerby and Thirsk.
The planning application, the largest ever received by Hambleton District Council, includes plans for phase one of the development which will see the creation of 108 new energy efficient homes.
Castlevale has moved ahead with the plans for the mixed-use development, which will include shops and commercial space, after consulting with local residents.
Martin Foster, managing director of the Castlevale Group, said: “The last few months have been an important and enlightening process for us, allowing us to share our vision with the Sowerby and Thirsk community whilst providing an accessible platform for everybody to communicate their ideas and views on our plans for the site.
“A huge amount of thought, planning and consideration has gone into our proposals to ensure we are in a position to provide the best quality development to meet the needs of both Hambleton District Council and the local community.
“We are extremely proud of the outcome and believe we have delivered favourable and sustainable plans which will provide a fully integrated and desirable community extension to the existing towns.”
The plans include a neighbourhood centre, shops, business units and an outline location of a new primary school.
Development director Terry Davies added: “We have focused on important issues such as transport and the environment and will apply the same high level of commitment and attention to detail to every aspect of the project.”
