This site can offer significant community benefits including new and affordable homes for local people, on-site sports facilities, and significant financial contribution for local priorities.

The site is identified for housing in the emerging City of York Local Plan, which has been subject to independent examination by a Government appointed Planning Inspector.

York has an identified need of 573 affordable dwellings per year (City of York Council SHMA), and this site would help contribute to meeting that requirement.

Following planning submission to City of York Council (CYC), further work has taken place to update the proposals. These updates will be formally submitted to CYC following public consultation in early 2024.

Please take time to review our consultation materials and have your say by completing a feedback survey. All views will be considered as part of the planning process.

The Site

The proposed development site is located North of Haxby and is bounded by Moor Lane to the West and Usher Lane to the East.

The site is allocated in York’s Local Plan (ST9). The Local Plan is currently being examined by a Government Planning Inspector and it is expected that the Plan will be adopted this year.

There has been significant consultation with residents and stakeholders over many years to agree the sites within York’s Local Plan. We are progressing a planning application because we want to help York deliver on its Local Plan, when it is adopted.

Key updates to the proposal

A planning application was submitted to City of York Council following consultation in 2022. Since then, we have worked closely with the Council and other stakeholders. The updated plans include several key additions which respond to points raised during our consultation and wider discussions.

The updated proposals include:

A new one form entry primary school on the site to meet local education needs. This school would serve new and existing residents.

A reduced number of new 1, 2, 3 and 4-bedroom homes (around 760, down from 800). The proposals include 30% affordable homes, Shared Ownership and affordable rent properties, a range of family homes, and properties for downsizers.

An increased southern landscape buffer which will separate the development from existing properties, whilst ensuring new residents can easily walk to Haxby centre.

Land has been identified to expand Haxby and Wigginton cemetery. This was identified during the previous public consultation.

More open green space to help secure a biodiversity net gain. This is a new benefit and was not previously identified.

A new sports pitch facility and several play spaces for children and to provide additional recreational space.

Further highways discussions with local and national highways, with further traffic modelling and data provided.

On-site Gypsy and Traveller pitches have been requested by the Council. A location has not been confirmed, but discussions are ongoing about on-site requirement or a potential financial contribution towards providing or enhancing an off-site provision.

The proposals

The draft proposals for Land North of Haxby have been informed by the York Local Plan process which includes requirements for housing delivery, open space, drainage, and space for the community to use. The submitted proposals have been updated and we want to gain feedback ahead of formal submission to City of York Council.

Our updated plans include:

A reduced number of new homes (around 760, down from 800) in a mix of 1, 2, 3 and 4-bedroom properties

Affordable homes, including shared ownership and affordable rent, in line with local requirements

Main vehicle access from Usher Lane and Moor Lane

Increased areas for community sports and play-spaces

Landscaping and accessible green space

Positive dialogue ongoing about sustainable drainage for the site

A significant financial contribution towards identified local needs and services

New walking and recreational paths through and within the site

As requested by Council Officers, potential for three Gypsy and Traveller pitches to be provided on site, with the location to be determined

Access and highways

A range of access and highways improvements are planned to ensure the proposed development encourages sustainable travel where possible and links the development with the wider transport network.

Key proposals include:

Two site access junctions will be located on Moor Lane and one site access junction located on Usher Lane.

Pedestrian and cycle links will also be provided from the site to the existing residential roads to the south of the site.

The 30mph speed limit on Moor Lane and Usher Lane would be extended to the northern boundary of the site.

A detailed traffic assessment has been submitted with the planning application, and further traffic modelling work has taken place to assess the levels of transport expected with the development.

Increase and retain pedestrian footways across the site. This includes extending the existing pedestrian footway along the east side of Moor Lane and west side of Usher Lane. The existing footpath running north/south through the site will be retained.

A Travel Plan will be implemented at the development to encourage residents to travel by sustainable modes of travel.

The study area for a traffic assessment has been agreed and furhter work has taken place which will be submitted to City of York Council’s highways officers.

The following local junctions have been assessed during a weekday morning and evening peak hour:

Site Access Junctions
Crossmoor Lane/Usher Lane priority junction
The Village/Moor Lane priority junction
The Village/Station Road/York Road roundabout junction
Station Road/Usher Lane priority junction
Towthorpe Road/Strensall Road priority junction
Towthorpe Moor Lane/A64 priority junction
Mill Lane/Wigginton Road traffic signal junction
Corban Lane/Sutton Road priority junction
East Lane/A19 priority junction

Following planning submission we are now analysing the following additional junctions:

Haxby Road/A1237 roundabout junction
Wiggington Road/A1237 roundabout junction
A64/A1237 signalised roundabout junction
Strensall Road/A1237 roundabout junction
A1237/Malton Road signalised roundabout junction
A1237/Monks Cross Link roundabout junction
A1237/Clifton Moor Gate signal junction
A1237/Shipton Road roundabout junction
Wigginton Road/Clifton Moor Gate signal junction
Wiggington Road/Crichton Avenue signal junction
Wiggington Road/Haxby Road signal junction
B1363/Gillygate signal junction

Mitigation works are being considered and these will be discussed with City of York Council’s highways department as part of the planning application process.
