Final designs for two housing projects in York, delivering hundreds of homes in a ‘garden village’, have been submitted by a major house builder.
Bellway is seeking approval at reserved matters level for 271 homes south of North Lane, Huntington, for Southern Phases 2A and 2B.
The company is also seeking approval for 166 homes nearby, forming Central North Phase 3C.
These applications follow outline approval granted in December 2022 for 970 homes on the Monks Cross North site, which includes these two schemes.
Five reserved matters applications will be submitted to deliver the schemes, primarily by Bellway and fellow housebuilder Redrow.
Planning documents state: “The aim is to deliver a ‘Garden Village’ development that acts as a sustainable urban extension to Huntington.
“The 970 dwelling Monks Cross North proposal will contain its own local retail facilities and land for a new Primary School.
“It will additionally provide good walking, cycling and public transport links into the nearby facilities of Huntington and Monks Cross Retail Park.
“Each reserved matters application will feature 30% affordable housing and a mix of housing types.”
