The Planning Committee of City of York Council is recommended to approve at Reserved Matters stage a scheme for 280 homes west of the LNER Community Stadium in Huntington.
The move follows the government granting an appeal to Outline Plans from Barratt David Wilson Homes for 300 homes on the 11.6ha site last October.
The developer had originally applied to build the homes in March 2021, but that October, appealed to central government to determine the application, accusing City of York Council of taking ‘too long.’
The government decision last October was greeting with anger by local councillors and political leaders, since they had opposed the development, saying the site was in the Green Belt.
A report by council planners for the Thursday (Sep 5) meeting says the proposals consist of a site layout, a masterplan and drawings of each house type.
