Outline plans have been submitted for a proposed development of around 120 homes in Killinghall.
Bellway Strategic Land has lodged an outline planning application with North Yorkshire Council for a 16-acre site located to the west of Ripon Road, on the northern edge of the village.
According to the submission, the scheme includes new housing alongside public open space and wildlife areas.
The plans follow a public consultation held earlier in the year.
Alex Bowling, Bellway Strategic Land Manager for the North, said:
"The plans would provide around 120 high-quality new homes for the area, including 40 per cent affordable housing for local people.
"It would bring a range of other benefits, creating nearly six acres of new public open space for both new and existing residents to use.”
He added:
“People living here would be able to walk into the village centre or take the bus to Harrogate or Ripon.
"We’re planning to upgrade the footpath along Ripon Road and provide a new zebra crossing, as well as linking to existing public rights of way and improving the bus stop next to the site to support the use of public transport.”
The proposals include vehicle access from Ripon Road and pedestrian connections to Maltkiln Lane and Cautley Drive.
The northern part of the site is earmarked for the largest area of green space, planned as a biodiversity area featuring a pond for surface-water management and a range of habitats.
Bellway says the scheme would deliver a biodiversity net gain of at least 10 per cent through measures such as retaining existing hedgerows and trees and creating additional wildlife areas.
North Yorkshire Council will now consider the outline application.
