Homes will be a mixture of council housing and shared ownership, with 40% being affordable – over twice the minimum planning requirement. In addition, the site includes six self-build plots with services provided and modern housing specialist, YorSpace will be developing a community build co-housing scheme which includes the design of 19 financially and environmentally sustainable homes.
The new village green will provide more than an acre of open public space, with play facilities, community growing spaces and natural planting. The neighbourhood and vehicular routes will provide links for pedestrians and cycling, with the aim of reducing traffic and promoting outdoor walking and cycling activities.
