RYEDALE District Council planning committee last night gave final approval for 79 new houses on Langton Road.
The application, for 20 four-bedroom houses, 36 three-bedroom properties and 23 two-bedroom homes on land adjacent to Auburn Cottages, was submitted by Keepmoat Homes.
The site received outline approval in 2016 following a four-day planning inquiry, after it was twice rejected by RDC’s planning committee.
Last night's approval was for 'reserved matters' not dealt with in 2016.
The long-gestating application had been deferred from the committee's May meeting due to some minor outstanding planning issues around site access.
