Revised plans have been submitted for a new estate of more than 100 homes in Catterick Garrison after widespread concerns were raised about the scheme.

The latest plans for land north of Catterick Road, between Catterick Garrison and Colburn, would see 102 homes built rather than the originally proposed 106.

A revised layout of the housing has also been filed with North Yorkshire Council.

The changes have been made following concerns from consultees about the size of the open spaces within the site and the density of the housing.

Other changes include a higher percentage of two-bedroom homes and fewer four-bed properties.

New reports addressing noise and air quality have also been prepared for the application, which has been submitted by developer Keepmoat Homes and landowner Rupert Hildyard.

Yorkshire Water submitted an objection to the original plans, saying the sewage system would not be able to cope with the new development.

Savills, agents for the applicants, say talks are planned with the utility company to find a solution.

The agents have also addressed concerns that the proposed location — in an area known as the Colburn Gap because it provides a green space between Catterick Garrison and Colburn — is not suitable.

In a letter to North Yorkshire Council’s planning department accompanying the new information, Savills director Rebecca Housam said: “This re-submission seeks to address comments received by the various technical consultees and it is considered that the revised scheme adequately addresses any concerns raised to date to enable the local planning authority to meaningfully consider the proposed development in the context of the development plan and the wider planning balance.”

All the proposed homes would be classed as ‘affordable’ with a mix of social rent and shared ownership properties.

Councillor Kevin Foster, Hipswell and Colburn division member, said he still had major concerns about the scheme, despite the new information.

He added: “There’s that many problems with this application that they can resubmit it as many times as they want.

“It will still not be the right housing in the right places, and it certainly won’t serve the housing need or have the infrastructure that’s required for a development like this.”

The application is being dealt with at a time when plans for a further 420 homes are being drawn up on a site to the east at Colburn Grange, which is also in the so-called Colburn Gap.
