Developer submits revised plans for 99 homes near Catterick Garrison following previous refusal
Überblick
Keepmoat Homes has submitted a revised planning application to build 99 affordable homes on land north of Catterick Road near Colburn, following the rejection of an earlier proposal for 102 houses by North Yorkshire Council in February. The developer states that the new application addresses previous concerns regarding design, highways, drainage, and ecology by altering the layout, property mix, and landscaping. However, local councillor Kevin Foster has raised objections, arguing that fundamental concerns remain because the site is located in open countryside outside development limits.
