A rural village in Yorkshire will become suburban following the approval of 300 homes.
A decision made on behalf of the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Michael Gove MP, has been met with fury by local Liberal Democrat councillors as well as the Labour administration. The plans by Barratt David Wilson Homes for 300 homes in New Lane, Huntington, on the edge of York, had been delayed since 2021 when Mr Gove contacted the City of York Council about them. But a decision was made by a minister for local government and building safety, Lee Rowley MP, on Tuesday .
The Conservative government has ignored local residents, ignored local councillors, ignored the draft local plan and ignored the parish council’s neighbourhood plan when deciding to approve the 300 new houses. “Mr Gove has also treated local residents with contempt. He could have made this decision over a year ago but has kept local residents waiting hoping for the correct decision.
