Almost 400 new homes planned in major developments in Selby area
Two significant residential planning applications submitted to North Yorkshire Council could see almost 400 new homes built across the Selby area, marking one of the largest combined development proposals in recent years.
The applications, published under statutory planning notice procedures, include:
85 Homes Planned for Whitley
A full planning application has been lodged by Harron Homes (Yorkshire) Ltd for the construction of 85 residential dwellings on land off Doncaster Road, Whitley.
The proposal, referenced ZG2025/1035/FULM, includes a complete layout and design for the site and forms part of the ongoing demand for new family housing in the southern part of the district.
Up to 300 Homes Proposed in Sherburn-in-Elmet
A separate application from BDW Yorkshire East outlines plans for the development of up to 300 dwellings on land off Tadcaster Road, Sherburn-in-Elmet.
The outline submission (ZG2025/0982/OUTM) seeks approval for access arrangements, with all other details—such as housing design, layout and landscaping—reserved for future planning stages.
Should both applications be approved, a total of up to 385 new homes could be delivered across the two communities.
Public Consultation Underway
The council has opened a 21-day period for public comments. Residents can view the proposals on the North Yorkshire Council planning website, with representations accepted by email or post. While individual acknowledgements will not be issued, comments will generally appear on the planning portal within three working days.
Both developments fall under the remit of the Assistant Director for Planning in the Selby area.
