PLANS to build 129 new homes in a Yorkshire town have been given the go ahead.

Leeds City Council has approved plans for 129 new homes, in Sandbeck Lane, in Wetherby in an application put forward by York-based housebuilder Persimmon Homes.

In the development, Persimmon will deliver a range of house types and sizes, ranging from apartments to two, three, four and five-bedroom houses.

Of these homes, a total of 46 on the development will be transferred to a local housing association for social rent and shared ownership.

As part of the development, Persimmon will be providing contributions towards the improvement of facilities at Wetherby BMX Track and bus services serving the site.

Plans for the site also include a £1.1 million Community Infrastructure Levy contribution, which will be put towards supporting local infrastructure improvements.

The scheme will include new footpaths and cycle links as well as an on-site play area, and an ecological management scheme will be established within Sandbeck Wood, to help aid ecology.

James Parkin, Persimmon West Yorkshire Land Director, said: "We’re delighted these plans for high-quality, new homes in Wetherby have been approved.

“We have been working closely with residents, councillors and the Better Wetherby Partnership and Wetherby Civic Society to make sure the views of the community were reflected in our plans put forward to councillors.

“New homes are needed and we are committed to delivering energy efficient homes that suit the needs of the community.”
