Local people are contacting CPRE North Yorkshire (CPRENY) expressing concerns regarding this latest attempt to build on green field in Ingleton. CPRENY are listing the concerns and investigating the application. We will comment once we have researched all the facts and will use material planning considerations only in our response.
We have concerns regarding theimpact of this proposal on the conservation area and need to investigate the blocking and unauthorised diversion of the footpath.
A local council said, in relation to a smaller application (4 houses)
"I'm supportive of houses being built in the
right places, but I think the time has come in
Ingleton that we are saturated with houses. We
have reached the point where houses are no
longer selling. There is a need for small houses
for rent, but these cannot be described as
houses for rent. I honestly believe we have
reached the point in Ingleton where enough is
enough."
