·         Over 500 new homes had been completed in 2017/18 which was well over the target in the Council’s Five Year Housing Land Supply.

·         There had been a mixture of three, four and five bedroom houses being completed.

·         The first Neighbourhood Plan for the area for Appleton Roebuck and Acaster Selby had been adopted and three more areas had been designated for neighbourhood plans.
