Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 17 Oct, 06:08 · Archive
North Yorkshire Council has recommended approval for 52 homes in Sherburn despite warnings that the local GP surgery lacks capacity.
Plans for 52 new homes in Sherburn, near Malton, have been recommended for approval despite warnings that the local GP surgery lacks capacity to serve additional patients. The development has prompted concerns about increasing pressure on healthcare, schools, shops and transport services, with residents questioning whether the village has the infrastructure to accommodate further housing.
The Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has warned that Sherburn and Rillington Practice, less than half a mile from the proposed development, does not have sufficient capacity. The ICB estimates the new homes would generate around 125 residents, creating further demand for primary care services. It identified a shortage of healthcare floorspace and called for a developer contribution of £61,368 to fund improvements to existing premises or additional facilities.
The ICB said it would not object to the development provided the requested contribution was secured. The application has faced 40 objections from residents.
