CONTROVERSIAL plans to build an estate of almost 40 new homes on a greenfield site at the edge of Gargrave are being recommended for approval - despite the objections of more than 220 residents and the parish council.
Councillors at North Yorkshire Council's area planning meeting will be advised to approve the scheme for 38 houses on land used for grazing off Marton Road, with conditions covering flooding, drainage and affordable housing.
At the same planning meeting, a separate application for housing at the Old Saw Mill currently home to residential caravans, also off Marton Road, but more distant from the village, is being recommended for refusal - despite it being the preferred residential site of the parish council.
The meeting of the Skipton and Ripon Constituency Planning Committee is due to take place in Skipton at Belle Vue Square, Broughton Road at 1pm on Monday, June 3.
