Plans for up to 98 homes, new retail space and churchyard extensions are among the latest applications submitted to North Yorkshire Council.

The applications, published on February 12, can be viewed via the council’s planning portal, with members of the public given 21 days to submit comments.

One of the largest proposals relates to Dishforth Sewage Works on Topcliffe Road, where an outline planning application seeks permission for the demolition of existing buildings and the construction of up to 98 dwellings.

The scheme also includes site access, a retail facility (Class F2 use) and associated landscaping and infrastructure works, with all matters apart from site access reserved.

In Farnham, an outline application has been lodged for up to nine dwellings at The Old Village Hall on Shaw Lane, with access to and within the site included and all other matters reserved.

Elsewhere, listed building consent is being sought at Clifton South Barn, Clifton Lane, to replace existing rotting external windows and doors with uPVC replacements.

At St Thomas A Beckets Church in Hampsthwaite, plans have been submitted for a change of use of agricultural land to extend the churchyard to allow for the interment of ashes.

Other applications include a replacement livestock building at Rooker Hill Farm in Kirby Hill, the erection of a polytunnel at Riverside Cottage, Nidd Walk, Pateley Bridge for use in conjunction with the Yorkshire Peat Project, a single storey extension at 6 Orchard Lane, Ripley, and the installation of a non-illuminated projecting sign at 27 High Street, Spofforth.

Applications can be viewed online or at the Civic Centre in Harrogate, with comments open to public inspection by law.
