Final plans have been submitted to build housing on the site of a former North Yorkshire pub.
A planning application has been filed with North Yorkshire to confirm the details of the redevelopment of the former Royal Oak Inn, in Hirst Courtney, near Selby.
Outline planning permission was granted in 2022 after local parish councillors backed the scheme, saying the closed pub was an eyesore and there would be no loss to the community from the development.
The revised matters application confirms plans to build six houses on the site.
Two larger, detached homes would be built at the front of the site, with a terrace of four smaller homes built at the rear on the former pub car park.
The original application was approved despite a recommendation from planning officers at Selby District Council to reject the plans.
Officers said a large area of the site was outside Hirst Courtney’s development limits and it would represent an “undue visual intrusion into the open countryside”.
The new application has the support of North Yorkshire councillor Mike Jordan.
He said: “This application, if approved, will go a long way towards making this small village an even more desirable location.
“The pub was already shut when I got elected to the area in 2013 and we really need to move on now.
“There was an approved outline application and there have been a number of variant applications since, which have only slightly encroached outside development limits.”
Hirst Courtney and West Bank Parish Council confirmed it had no objections to the scheme.
The pub has been closed since 2015.
