A DEVELOPER has been allowed to advertise a new housing scheme in a Ryedale village at the second attempt.

Leeds-based Trilandium Homes was turned down when it applied to Ryedale District Council last year to put up a sign promoting 29 new homes on land north of Wainds Field, in Kirkbymoorside.

Planning officers have now given a revised application the go-ahead after the property firm moved the site for the sign further away from the A170 to avoid potential distractions for passing motorists. It will be allowed to stay in place for two years.
