15 properties would be rented to locals
Last updated 23rd Jun 2023
A housing developer wants to build 15 affordable properties in Hunmanby which would be rented to locals.
The Broadacres Housing Association has submitted an application to North Yorkshire Council proposing the construction on Sands Lane.
The housing association wants a mix of two and three-bedroom houses with gardens “to be rented to local people for affordable rents”
According to the submitted documents, all the properties would be “kept and maintained” by the applicant.
However, members of the public have already lodged objections citing concerns about its impact on local services, the environment, and traffic in the area.
Documents submitted by the applicant state: “There are limited sites available in the area so this is one of very few that has been brought forward for a fully affordable development.”
The proposal is still pending consideration with the planning authority and the council has not yet published a report or recommendations regarding the application.
Broadacres Housing says it held a community consultation event in January which had “a good response from local people” who were “generally supportive as they realised that the site was going to be developed for housing of some kind”.
However, objectors have criticised the developer for not taking into account local’s suggestions, with one member of the public stating: “Everything we suggested was ignored.”
The proposal is currently pending consideration with the council and the planning authority.
