There’s a lack of affordable housing in the city and the council wants to see 3,000 council homes built in the next 10 years.

It is looking to maximise council land for new homes and is carrying out feasibility studies at eight sites.

The sites are Scowerdons, Berners Road, Daresbury View, Hemsworth Primary School, Newstead Estate, Gaunt Road, Algar Place, and Harborough Avenue/Viking Lea Drive.

In a report, officers say: “Taking a logical approach to understanding the development opportunity and constraints of those sites, the findings will enable an affordable housing programme.”

The former Argos building in Newborough (pictured) is to be torn down and replaced with student accommodation and shops on the site once earmarked for a new cinema development.

The scheme has been drawn up by Scarborough Council, York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Coventry University, which has a campus in Scarborough.

Council leader Steve Siddons says this is the first stage of the regeneration of Scarborough town centre.

He'll present his plans to councillors next week as he looks for their backing for the scheme.

Mr Siddons says: “This could regenerate and rejuvenate the lower town and uplift the area’s economy.”

If approved, the council hopes to have the development open for students in 2020.
