Plans for 280 new homes to be built next to York City’s LNER stadium have been approved by councillors.
The properties are being developed by Barratt David Wilson homes for a mix of one to four bedroom houses.
Public space is set to be created around an old oak tree at the centre of the site along with new routes for dog walking, using the nearby Strensall Common.
There is also a planned £3.5 million to go towards the expansion of existing schools and highway improvements.
However, there have been some concerns from the general public regarding cars travelling to and from rugby and football matches which could fuel congestion for the area.
