North Yorkshire Council approves 52 homes despite GP capacity concerns
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 24 Oct, 06:09 · Archive
North Yorkshire Council has approved outline plans for 52 homes in Sherburn near Malton despite warnings the local GP surgery lacks capacity.
North Yorkshire Council's planning committee has approved outline permission for up to 52 homes in Sherburn, near Malton, on approximately 3.2 hectares of land south of the A64. The scheme is proposed by Cromsdale Estates and William Edward Cundall. Of the homes, 35 per cent would be affordable, equivalent to 18 properties if the maximum number is built.
The Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board warned that Sherburn and Rillington Practice, less than half a mile from the site, does not have sufficient capacity to accommodate additional patients. It estimated the development would generate around 125 residents and requested a developer contribution of £61,368 towards improving healthcare facilities. The ICB said it would not object provided the contribution was secured.
The development has faced significant local opposition, with residents raising concerns about the capacity of healthcare services, schools, shops and public transport. The committee chair admitted councillors were in an 'unenviable position' because of Government housing targets.
