Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Oct, 13:08 · Archive

A new garden village with 3,339 homes is planned for the former Elvington Airfield near York. The settlement, called Langwith Village, would also feature new schools, shops, community and leisure facilities, workplaces and active travel infrastructure.

A public consultation on the plans has launched, running until 30 November. Chris Proctor of the Langwith Development Partnership said the consultation would give residents, businesses and organisations an opportunity to shape the plans before submission. An in-person event will be held at the Yorkshire Air Museum's Halifax Suite from 2.30pm to 7.30pm on 20 October, where people can view the plans, speak to project staff and ask questions.

The Elvington site is included in York Council's Local Plan, which sets out where development should occur in coming years. Council officials are currently updating the Local Plan following national planning policy changes.
