Bishop Monkton residents grill developer over 60-home plan


Residents in a Harrogate district village have demanded that adequate infrastructure is put in place before any further housing is built in the area.

At a packed public meeting last night, villagers in Bishop Monkton grilled representaives from Avant Homes over a proposed plan to build 60 new homes on a site off Moor Road.

The developer previously withdrew a proposal for 88 houses on the same site in May 2023.

There have long been fears in Bishop Monkton, which lies three-and-a-half miles south of Ripon, that the village’s sewerage system does not have the capacity to cope with the extra houses, as human waste can be seen on local streets after even “moderate” rain.

During the meeting last night, Chris Megson, the developer’s planning manager, and technical director Jon Birkin, fielded questions from sceptical residents.
