A plan to build eight “large executive homes” – partly in a conservation area – has been refused by councillors.
Fordy Farms Ltd applied to Middlesbrough Council for planning permission to build eight homes on land near Grey Towers Farm, in Nunthorpe. The scheme drew objections from a ward councillor, parish councillor and residents. Nunthorpe Councillor Mieka Smiles said: “The proposed properties are not in keeping with the wider area. They look as though they are densely packed together and are not in the spirit of the original plans for the area.
They said the houses were sympathetic to the area, high quality and a sensible, well thought-out plan enhancing the outlook. Most of the site was for housing under the Local Plan, but part of it was in the Nunthorpe conservation area. Nunthorpe Parish Council argued the number of houses had already gone way beyond limits in the plan, and “there should be no further increase”. The parish council asserted the land was in a green space which should be preserved, not a housing area.
