52 homes approved for North Yorkshire village despite GP capacity concerns

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 19 Oct, 12:31 · Archive

North Yorkshire Council is set to approve 52 new homes in Sherburn despite warnings the local GP surgery cannot accommodate additional patients.

Plans for 52 new homes in Sherburn, near Malton, are recommended for approval by North Yorkshire Council on 22 October. The outline application, submitted by Cromsdale Estates and William Edward Cundall, proposes up to 52 homes on approximately 3.2 hectares of land adjacent to The Pastures, south of the A64.

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 to accommodate the additional population. It estimates that the new homes would generate around 125 residents, creating further demand for primary care services. The ICB identified a shortage of healthcare floorspace and called for a developer contribution of £61,368 to fund improvements to existing premises or additional facilities. It said it would not object to the development provided the requested contribution was secured.

The development has faced 40 objections from residents and Sherburn Parish Council. Concerns raised include increasing pressure on the village school, shops and transport services. The parish council noted that bus services were already full and that the village has no railway station. Residents have also argued that additional doctors, dentists and school places are already needed.
