Persimmon gets go ahead for 67 new homes in Brayton, Selby

North Yorkshire Council has given the green light for the Persimmon homes to be built in Brayton near Selby.

The York-based housebuilder has now been granted final approval for their plans after councillors voted last year to approve outline plans for the site.

 A mix of 1 to 4-bedroom properties will be built on land off Evergreen Way. 

 Space for two self-build plots will also be made available.

 In addition 14 homes will be transferred to a registered housing provider and will be delivered as a mix of shared ownership and social/affordable rent.

Persimmon say residents will enjoy an area of public open space as well as an on-site children’s play area at the centre of the development.  

The developer is set to provide over £500,000 in funding for local infrastructure including £300,000 funding towards improving the number 476 local bus service. Additional funds will be provided for cycle links and healthcare contributions.

Graham Whiteford, planning pirector at Persimmon Yorkshire, said: “We’re delighted to have been granted permission to deliver new housing in the Selby area.

 “We’ve worked closely with the community and local stakeholders to help shape the design of the development as our application has progressed.

 “This development will provide a range of house types and sizes for local homebuyers and we look forward to getting on site to bring these plans to fruition.”

 A landscaped area for amenity and play would act as a focal point for the development.

Previously councillors on the Selby and Ainsty area planning committee voted unanimously on March 12 in favour to approve an outline planning application from Persimmon Homes for land off Evergreen Way in Brayton.

At that stage objectors highlighted that the main road of Barff Lane which runs from the neighbouring village of Thorpe Willoughby and joins up with the A19 was already congested and existing developments already created parking bottlenecks at the entrance to Moat Way.
