Shoddy house builders blasted by Selby residents

RESIDENTS of a new Barratt estate claim the house-builder has gone against planning approval for their homes to save cash.

Paula Walter and John Davies (above), backed by other residents of The Haven, claim Barratt Homes promoted 37 top-of-the-range Selsdon properties for sale after being granted planning permission for the house type but actually built bottom-of-the-range Sutton homes.

The builder has now submitted a retrospective application to Selby District Council planning chiefs to change the house types of more than half the 72-home development, as well as associated boundary fencing at Street Record.
