The outline application is for up to 5o homes on the site of Rose Villa Farm at the eastern end of the village.
The application has been submitted to Richmondshire District Council on behalf of the owners of the farm.
This story continues after the adverts:
Documents submitted with the plans state: “The total Site area is 4.8 hectares (11.9 acres), which includes the existing farmstead and part of an arable field to the south.
“It is proposed the Site would provide up to 50 new homes, including affordable.
“The site will provide large areas of open space and meaningful landscaping throughout.”
The documents note that previous planning applications for houses in Barton have been refused because it was felt the proximity of the dairy farm would impact on the amenity of future residents.
The plan state that this development would not have any “detrimental impact on residential amenity,
highways landscape character, flood risk, drainage and ground contamination”.
The documents add: “Rather this development will lead to an enhancement, ensuring that the existing dairy farm and all of the impact that the operation have on the village in terms of traffic, noise and smell will be removed.”
