DETAILED plans for a housing development in York which council bosses wanted to block have been given the go-ahead.

City of York Council rejected an application from Hogg the Builder for eight homes between Westview Close and a nearby sports field, in Westfield, Acomb, earlier this year after saying it would be “inappropriate development” for a greenfield site.

A planning inspector subsequently overturned this decision.

A reserved matters application for the development, including details of its appearance, has now been approved by the authority.
