Location
The site is situated on the northern edge of the rural village of Horton in Ribblesdale within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The village has limited services being perhaps best known as the starting point for the iconic ‘Three Peaks' walk. But it does have a railway station on the Settle - Carlisle line. The busy market town of Settle is just 6.5 miles to the south providing a more comprehensive range of services including shops, schools, eateries and a Booth's supermarket.
Description
This green field site comprises a relatively level agricultural grassland meadow with a traditional stone field barn. The site has frontage and direct access to the B6479 and extends to the Settle Carlisle railway line to the west.
Planning
The Yorkshire Dales National Park have granted full planning permission for a collaborative scheme prepared by Carleton based architect John Wharton and the planning and development team at David Hill LLP. The approved housing scheme will provide 10 dwellings including 6 no. open market houses and 4 no. affordable houses/flats, the conversion of the barn to one local occupancy dwelling and the creation of a new access.
