Plans for 52 homes in Sherburn, North Yorkshire, face approval despite warnings the local GP surgery cannot cope.

Plans for 52 new homes in Sherburn, near Malton, have been recommended for approval despite concerns about capacity at local services. The Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has warned that Sherburn and Rillington Practice, less than half a mile away, does not have sufficient capacity to accommodate the additional population. It estimates 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, stating it would not object to the development if the contribution was secured.

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 scheme has prompted 40 objections from residents and Sherburn Parish Council, who have raised concerns about increasing pressure on healthcare, schools, shops and transport services. The parish council highlighted a lack of facilities for children and teenagers, including playing fields, and pointed out that bus services were already full and the village has no railway station.

North Yorkshire Council will consider the application on 22 October.
