Creating further new family homes in Great Ayton
We want to share with you our initial plans for a development of up to 130 new family homes, as well as give you the opportunity to provide feedback and ask any questions that you may have. Our proposals hope to bring forward a development that supports the recognised need for new family homes in the area. It also offers the opportunity to deliver new benefits for your local community, local economy and local environment.
Some of the benefits include; new affordable housing, upgraded footpaths, improved connectivity from our development and electric vehicle charging points at every home.

Why Great Ayton?
• Provide new, high-quality family homes, including affordable housing, giving local people a chance to remain in the village.
• Offer a range of property types to meet diverse community needs, from first-time buyers to families.
• Support local shops, schools, and services through increased spending from new residents.
• Help address housing shortages that otherwise push people to relocate away from their community.
Key project facts
- Delivery of approximately 130 energy efficient homes with a good sustainability rating
- New open spaces and green corridors within the site
- Provision of 30% affordable housing on site
- Site area approx. 6.5 hectares
Technical information
- Access to the site will be taken from the A173 for both vehicles and pedestrians. Pedestrian access
will be on the eastern boundary of the site to ensure a short, direct route to the village amenities. - The site will be well connected to the public transport network with bus stops within an approximate 5-minute walk of the site, with additional bus stops looking to be delivered along the site frontage. Great Ayton railway station can also be accessed within an approximate 30-minute walk.
- Shops, health centre, and infant/primary schools are also within a short walk of the development, ensuring the site is not car dependent.
- A Residential Travel Plan with initiatives to encourage sustainable travel will be provided to new residents upon their move into the site.
Drainage Information
• A sustainable drainage system (SuDS) is being designed to manage rainfall across the site in a safe and controlled way.
• A single attenuation basin will be located in the western corner of the site. This will temporarily store rainwater during heavy storms and release it slowly.
• The basin and surrounding areas will be designed to blend into the landscape, providing potential for green space and wildlife habitats.
Meet Jamilah Hassan
Community relations manager
Jamilah is the community relations manager for the Great Ayton proposal. Jamilah is keen to get to know the local community better, to listen to local views, find out what local priorities are and help maximise the benefits of our proposals for new and existing communities should our planning application be successful.
You can contact Jamilah via email [email protected].
We believe that the communities that host our projects should share the benefits. The Great Ayton development would bring a wide range of social, environmental and economic benefits (see below).
Progress so far
Over the last few months, we have been undertaking site surveys to gather information that has allowed us to develop a masterplan for the site. In doing so, we have considered ecology, heritage, landscape, highways and design. We are now keen to share our plans to understand feedback from the community and continue to develop our plans for the site.
