Plans have been submitted to North Yorkshire Council for a change of use of land to construct five holiday cabins.
The site, at Holme Beck Barn, Park Wall, Ravensworth, near Richmond, is a small parcel of greenfield land lying approximately 1.2km to the south east of the village of Ravensworth and 1.2km south west of the A66.
The site is in a rural location dominated by arable farmland fields that are bound by hedgerows, with a mixture of deciduous, coniferous and mixed woodlands of varying sizes scattered throughout the wider surroundings.

The proposed development involves the siting of holiday units that will fall within the statutory definition of a caravan and, as such, the current application simply involves the material change of use of the land.
The site will be accessed from Stonygate Bank via an existing farm track with a total of six car parking spaces provided to serve the proposed units.
