Plans for five homes near Northallerton submitted to council

Outline planning permission was granted on 29th October 2021 by Hambleton District Council for the construction of five dwellings with access and layout considered, at Friars Garth, Lumley Lane, Kirkby Fleetham, Northallerton.

A planning statement, prepared by Johnson Mowat Planning and Development Consultants on behalf of Loxley Homes, states: "The external walls of the proposed properties will be finished with mixed brickwork and roofs are to be finished with terracotta pantiles to match with the majority of buildings within close proximity to the site.

"The facades to plots 1, 2 and 3 that face south onto Lumley Lane area designed to resemble details of the properties along the existing street scene with replica top hung sash style windows, reconstituted stone sills and lintels, porch and canopy front entrances, chimney stacks and dental brick detailing and soldier courses.

"A modern touch is provided with a grey finish to the external windows, doors and to bi-folding doors which creates an open link between the indoor and outdoor spaces of the property.

"The proposed dwellings will be at two-storeys, with three different house types providing a range of products to accommodate small, medium and large families.

"Plots 4 and 5 have single-storey double garages attached at one end, with plots 1, 2 and 3 all benefitting from detached single-storey garages.

"House types are made up of two three-bedroom semi-detached homes; two four-bedroom detached homes; and one five-bedroom detached home.

"The sizes of the dwellings were somewhat determined by the layout, which was approved at the outline planning stage, which has allowed for a development consisting of a range of house sizes and mix to meet local needs.

"The proposed development indeed reflects the character of the existing village and the market demand in this locality.

"Given the rural nature of the settlement, with limited public transport links, the need is more suited to groups such as families who are commonly more dependent on cars by means of transport."
