Plans for 29 new homes on former garden centre site

Plans for a 29-home estate on the site of a former garden centre have been revealed.

Mulberry Homes wants to create the estate off the B5277 at Flookburgh.

The application form says the site ceased to be a garden centre on October 3 2021.

A design and access statement, dated December 6 2022 and created in support of a previously submitted pre-application, refers to ‘two and three [parking] spaces per dwelling’.

It outlines that these would be provided courtesy of integral garages, detached garages, attached garages or parking spaces.

“We are confident these criteria can be met,” it says. The application form, dated January 4 2023, says two parking spaces and no bicycle spaces currently exist at the site.

The form says that the development would result in a total of 69 parking spaces and 29 bicycle spaces.

The design and access statement says that access to the houses would be off a newly constructed estate road ‘with footpath access on both sides where required’.

The statement says the houses would be a mixture of detached, semi-detached and terraced.

It says each house would have its own amenity space in line with council recommendations.

“The proposed design will attempt to create a more modern private housing estate,” it says.

The application form says 19 of the properties would be market housing and 10 would fall into the affordable housing category.

The design and access statement outlines that the site has been allocated for housing.

It says a number of the properties would have bay windows and that the houses would ‘generally adopt the same facade treatment with regards to appearance of walls, roof and windows etc.’

The document concludes that the site would fit ‘seamlessly’ into the surrounding area.

“Developments such as these will provide much-needed growth for the community as well as a district, whilst forming much-needed housing for local families,” it says.
