Introduction
Urban Developments (York) Ltd are preparing to submit a planning application which seeks full planning permission for the construction of 73 affordable dwellings on land off Garden Lane, Sherburn in Elmet. It is proposed that the new dwellings will be managed by Karbon Homes.

The site, which is shown edged in red on the aerial image below, comprises a parcel of grassland located to the west of the settlement of Sherburn in Elmet. The site lies to the west of Garden Lane and is bound by a tree belt to the north, existing residences to the east, and a small paddock to the south beyond which is Sherburn High School. The site’s western boundary is formed by a hedgerow beyond which is agricultural land.

Karbon Homes
Karbon Homes is a Registered Social Landlord and successfully builds and manages affordable homes for people across the north. Their footprint covers the north east of England and Yorkshire, with almost 30,000 homes across diverse communities, all facing different opportunities and challenges.
Since their formation in 2017, Karbon Homes has focused on delivering their three strategic aims – to provide as many good quality homes as they can, to deliver excellent service to their customers, and to shape strong, sustainable places for their communities.
The Proposed Development
The proposed development seeks to erect 73 new affordable homes to be built by Urban Developments (York) Ltd and managed by Karbon Homes.
The proposed layout, shown below, depicts how the development will be achieved. The scheme is comprised of a mix of two, three and four-bed dwellings of different types and tenures, including semi-detached, terraced properties and bungalows.
Vehicle access into the site will be gained via the access point to the north from Garden Lane with a pedestrian and cycle access also provided further south. An internal access road is proposed within the site, in conjunction with provision for parking.
The proposed development will use materials sympathetic to the local area in order to integrate seamlessly with the surrounding properties. This will be further reinforced through the implementation of both hard and soft landscaping that will enhance the proposed development.
The scheme aims to provide a genuine mix of accommodation options including affordable rent, Rent to Buy and shared ownership and to address a shortage of affordable housing identified in the district.
