Plans to create a flood storage area on the River Foss north of Strensall have now been given the green light by two local authority planning committees.
Work is expected to start next spring on the new flood storage area to better protect 490 vulnerable homes between Strensall and The Groves area of York from flooding.
The scheme, which falls within the boundary of two councils, has been approved by Ryedale District Council’s planners this week – and was given the go ahead by City of York Council last month (November).
