150 homes planned for Scarborough sport sites - COMMENT ON THIS STORY
A NEW sports village is central to plans to build 150 homes as part of a scheme involving three prominent Scarborough sites.
The homes are likely to be split between the old McCain Stadium site in Seamer Road and the Filey Road sports centre.
New sports facilities would then be built at Weaponness Valley coach park.
The plans, which have a timescale of up to five years, were detailed in Scarborough Council's Draft Housing Allocations Development Plan Document.
The document states: "The redevelopment of these sites would provide both housing as well as improved sports facilities for the town and a new home for the town's football club.
"The specific designation of each site is yet to be determined. However, subject to the relocation of the football ground and the sports centre, these sites could provide a good opportunity to accommodate a reasonable number of dwellings.
"An example would be a sports village with a public sports centre, football club and other ancillary facilities at Weaponness coach park, allowing the redevelopment of both the existing sports centre and football ground."
The council plans to sell off the McCain Stadium, the former home of Scarborough FC, to developers.
