PLANS have been submitted to North Yorkshire Council for the construction of two homes in the village of Great Busby, near Stokesley.

The application site relates to garden land to the east of Honeydale, a detached residential property within Great Busby.

The site has an area of around 0.31 hectares and is maintained as garden land and open in character.

There are no buildings occupying the site and existing landscape features are located to its northern and eastern boundaries which provide a frontage with the adopted highway.

The site is bound to the west by Honeydale and the extensive garden area to the rear of this property. There is a mature hedgerow on the boundary with Honeydale for approximately 30 metres which provides a natural segregation with the northern part of the site.

There are further dwellings on the other side of Honeydale towards the west one of the dwellings sited towards the northern end of the site and adjacent to Honeydale where it would form part of the main built frontage with Busby Lane.

The second dwelling would be sited further to the south and would likely comprise of a bungalow which is smaller in scale and height. This dwelling would also front onto Busby Lane as it extends around the site to the east.

The scheme would make full use of the available land whilst being of a density and layout that respects the existing form and character of the settlement.

The remaining garden curtilage of Honeydale would remain large in size and would be consistent with the curtilages of homes further to the west.

The proposed house at the northern end of the site would continue the linear built form of the larger properties to the west and would maintain a frontage with Busby Lane along what is essentially the main village street.

This particular house would replicate the position of curtilage buildings at Ivy House positioned on the inside bend of Busby Lane to the western end of the village.

The property to the south would be subservient in size and would retail an active built frontage with Busby Lane, replicating the pattern of development on the western side of the village.
