PLANNING permission has been granted for a major housing estate on the former Kingstone School site at Broadway.
A mixture of 163 two, three, and four bedroom houses will go on the site of the school, which closed in 2012 and merged with Holgate to form Horizon Community College.
Councillors voted unanimously in favour on Tuesday despite several objections from residents in Broomfield Close and Horsewood Close concerned about overlooking and loss of privacy.
The developer will provide almost £294,000 towards the cost of providing green space off-site, and £150,000 towards the refurbishment or expansion of local primary schools, with the education department yet to determine which.
